Is your teen interested in volunteering? Here’s what you need to know!
YouthLine works for youth in crisis because it works for our youth volunteers! Teens and young adults who volunteer on the YouthLine get extensive training and mentorship that prepares them to support their peers on the help, support, and crisis line, be positive examples in their communities, and care for themselves.
We put our youth volunteers first by creating a space where they can have fun, grow, be supported, and learn how to care for themselves as they offer support to others. All youth volunteers participate in an orientation with a parent or guardian, and then receive 65+ hours of training and shadowing. Masters-level supervisors and experienced Team Leads work alongside volunteers to provide support and mentorship at every step of the way.
We are devoted to helping teens talk about and work through stress, conflict, mental-health struggles, and suicidal ideation. We believe that youth are a vital part of this conversation and can be an integral part of the support system for young folks who are struggling.
