VOLUNTEERS

Volunteers staff the 24 hour Suicide Prevention Hotline and the Teen and Senior Hotlines. They also participate in the Speakers Bureau and help train other volunteers.

All Suicide Prevention volunteers receive extensive training. Hotline volunteers continue to receive supervisory support from the program's staff and other mental health professionals.

Volunteers for the Teen Hotline must be between the ages of 15 and 19.

We are an equal opportunity organization. Women and minorities are strongly encouraged to apply.

If you are interested in applying for a volunteer position, please contact the Volunteer Coordinator at (614)299-6600.
