CONTACT is in need of volunteers for both its Crisis Helpline and Telephone Reassurance programs. No experience is necessary. Comprehensive training in active listening and caring confrontation skills is provided. Volunteers must be at least 18 years of age.
CONTACT Community Helplines is a local non-profit 501c3 organization that operates a toll-free, volunteer-staffed Crisis Helpline (24/7) for residents in Camden, Gloucester, Salem, and Cumberland counties who need an empathetic listener and/or information and referrals. CONTACT also provides a Telephone Reassurance Program for senior citizens who live alone in Camden and Gloucester counties, assuring their physical and mental well-being via daily phone calls made by our friendly volunteers.
For additional information about these rewarding volunteer opportunities or to register for training, please call the CONTACT business office at 795–5073.
