Telephone Volunteering when it's convenient for you

After completing training, CONTACT volunteers are asked to complete only two 4-hour shifts per month.  Because CONTACT'S helpline is operational from 8am to 11pm, 365 days a year, it is easy to find a shift to fit your schedule.  Volunteers man four (4) phone shifts each day.  The hours are as follows:

  Volunteers, please call the center to see when you could fill any of the openings.

Other ways to Volunteer for CONTACT

CONTACT also needs volunteers to assist our office staff.  Information technology, maintenance, fundraising, public relations/marketing, photography, clerical work, accounting, and scrap booking are just a few of the areas in which CONTACT can utilize volunteers immediately.  If you have a unique skill, come share it with us.  We need your help!
