Who Can Volunteer?

YOU can be a volunteer!
  • Do you want to learn more about your community while increasing your "people" skills?
  • Do you like variety and challenges while learning new and valuable communications skills?
  • Are you reliable, responsible, and timely?
Then becoming a Crisis Clinic Volunteer Paraprofessional might be for you! Our volunteers come from all walks of life, each one bringing diversity and commitment to the program.

Why Volunteer?

There are both personal and professional reasons to volunteer:
  • make a difference in someone's life.
  • learn how to REALLY listen to others.
  • gain skills and abilities to help others help themselves.
  • gain insight about yourself and your relationships to others.
  • gain valuable skills to enhance your education and resume'.
  • learn about the myriad of resources available to our community.

How can you become a Crisis Clinic Volunteer?

We offer training for new volunteers several times a year.
Training consist of:
  • Thirty-three hours of classroom training.
  • Ten hours of observations with tenured volunteers.
  • One hour of specialized training in the use of the Crisis Clinic database.
Then you're ready to make a commitment of one "4-hour shift" per week, plus one "graveyard shift" per month.
