PROJECT: Volunteer Surge
We need Rotaractors to join us in the fight against COVID-19
Rotaractors have the opportunity to join forces with Rotarians nationwide to lead the recruitment of the first 1 million citizens to participate in Volunteer Surge. Together, we can reduce suffering and save lives by helping our healthcare professionals as trained volunteers.
An alliance between Rotaract, Rotary, and The Global Impact Group against COVID-19.
HOW THIS WORKS:
We are collaborating with Rotaractors and Rotarians to register and train volunteers to remotely help healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic.
What is Volunteer Surge?
Volunteer Surge is a free, online training program that teaches you to help professional healthcare workers from your home or in the field.
What is the training like?
The free, online training program is for any adult age 18+ and requires no special skills. The training is adapted from Certified Nursing Assistant online courseware. It includes educational videos, self quizzes, and checkpoints.
HOW CAN I, AS A ROTARIAN, MAKE AN IMPACT DURING THE COVID-19 CRISIS?
Rotarians and friends, family, and coworkers have a unique opportunity to recruit one million volunteers to reduce suffering and save lives during this crisis by participating in Volunteer Surge.
Why is this important?
We are training and deploying 1 million+ volunteers to help professional healthcare workers fight the COVID-19 virus.
How can I help once i’m trained?
Once trained, you can choose to apply your new skills by providing phone or online support from your home or by assisting healthcare workers in the field. Our software will then assign you to individuals in need of check-ins, followups, and other minor health issues.
Can Friends, Family, Colleagues, and other organizations participate?
Yes! As Rotarians, our social and professional networks are strong. Please use these networks to seed interest in Volunteer Surge by directing them to this website.
