Why Volunteer?

The 24 Hour Crisis Line program with New Horizons Crisis Center is possible through the work of our dedicated volunteers. By volunteering a small portion of your time, you can make a difference for someone in need. Our volunteers enjoy helping others and are part of an engaged, diverse, and caring community. Most importantly, volunteers can take pride in providing an essential service to the community and making a difference in other people’s lives.

What to Expect:

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.

Let’s Get Started:

No experience necessary. We believe that change happens with one caring voice at a time. Are you ready to make a difference?
