About

Listening volunteers are there for anyone who needs someone. Every year, they spend over 900,000 hours responding to calls for help, and they can change the course of someone’s life.

What it’s like being a listening volunteer:

• It’s always different and always interesting – no two conversations are the same.
• It feels like a privilege to have people confiding in you.
• You’re never on your own, and there’s a fun, supportive atmosphere in our branches.
• You can offer support on the phone or email.
• You can take a break between conversations whenever you need to.
• Spending a few hours helping other people can make you feel good about yourself.
