Crisis Line Volunteering
Are you passionate about making a difference for those who may need it most? Join us as a Crisis Line Volunteer!
Volunteering with the Chimo Crisis Line offers a unique and rewarding opportunity to develop new skills and help people in need. It is a powerful avenue for ongoing personal growth. It is also a great way to gain valuable employment-related skills, knowledge, and experience.
Our dedicated team of Crisis Line volunteers provide emotional support, non-violent crisis intervention, and referral information to a diverse population of callers in distress. The Chimo Crisis Line operates 16 hours a day, 7 days a week.
