Make a Difference
One Phone Call At a Time!

THANKS for being interested in volunteering with 2-1-1 Hotline, the local 24-hour support, information and crisis intervention line. 2-1-1 Hotline is the place to call 24 hours a day to get or give help. Volunteer phone counselors offer a listening ear to all kinds of people. Our computerized information database helps us provide helpful information about local resources - whether the caller needs help or wants to volunteer. 2-1-1 Hotline has many different ways for you to get involved! Here are just some of the volunteer and internship opportunities available:

• Phone Counselor -- help staff our hotline
• Outreach, Public Relations and Marketing -- help us spread the word about our services
• Volunteer Management -- volunteer event planning, promoting volunteerism in the community
• Information and Resource Technical and Administrative Support -- resource database maintenance, software and reporting

If you'd like more information about any of these opportunities, call or e-mail Sonia at the contact information listed below.
