Crisis Line Volunteer
Our on-line volunteer training program is unique and highly regarded. Our volunteers come from all walks of life; such as students, business & medical professionals, and community members. For those pursuing a career in mental health or social services, volunteering with New Horizons Crisis Center is particularly beneficial. You will learn new skills, gain experience in a specialized area, and broaden your depth of knowledge.
Crisis Line Volunteers must successfully complete our training program by finishing the on-line training modules, live stream webinars, and have a short one-on-one in person preparation meeting. Our training program is customized to each volunteer’s schedule and learning styles. We also expect all Crisis Line Volunteers to adhere to New Horizons Crisis Center’s protocols, policies and philosophy. All Volunteers must complete the volunteer application and all corresponding forms, including a criminal background check.
No experience necessary.
We believe that change happens with one caring voice at a time. Are you ready to make a difference?
