Volunteer Opportunities

Like all nonprofits and community agencies, Crisis Connection depends on volunteers to help us deliver services that otherwise would not exist. All of our free community hotline services are delivered primarily by volunteer counselors who commit to extensive training to become a Crisis Connection counselor. If you are interested in being a volunteer counselor, please call us at 612-852-2203 or email liz@crisis.org.

In addition to our volunteer phone counselors, we appreciate the help of many volunteers who help with special projects, day-to-day administrative services and special events. Right now we could use additional volunteers to work in the following areas.

Volunteers Needed:

• Research helpers: Use your research skills to help us find resources for our callers, explore community education needs, research fundraising and marketing resources.  Contact cathie.perrault@crisis.org

• "People people".  Are you a real outgoing people person? We need volunteers who will help us with the Bowl-a-Thon October 27. We also need volunteers who would staff our information booth at various community events, school fairs and similar activities. You would help to tell the community about Crisis Connection's work and make sure those in need can "find us" when the time is right.

• Special interests: Do you have a special skill or interest that you'd like to share through volunteering? Talk with us, as it might be possible that we could use what you want to give!  Special interest volunteers contact cathie.perrault@crisis.org or call 612-852-2213.
