Volunteer Application Form
Volunteer Agreement and Pledge

Imagine that for some reason, you are confined to your home, you live alone and you are unable to get out on a regular basis. You often go days or even weeks without seeing another person, without anyone to ask you how you are today, or to notice that you are sick or well, happy or sad. Now imagine that you wake up in the morning knowing that a CONTACT volunteer is going to call you today, just to make sure you are okay and to have a friendly chat.

CONTACT Volunteers make meaningful social contact with people who are lonely and isolated everyday, through our Reassurance Call Program.

Imagine that life has dealt you a powerful, difficult blow. You are in emotional crisis, but you don't feel safe talking about your problem with anyone you know. You are isolated and afraid and don't know where to turn. Now imagine that you know you can call someone who will listen to you anonymously, confidentially and compassionately over the phone. This person does not judge you, but helps you explore your own thoughts, feelings, concerns and choices.

CONTACT Crisis/Help Line Volunteers are caring, trained listeners who enrich and improve their own lives and the lives and the lives of the people around them every day!
