FAQ's About Volunteering
How Much Training Is There?You will receive approximately thirty hours of training on topics such as partner abuse, community resources and communication skills.
Where Do I Volunteer?
Through the use of a pager, you can work out of your home. Volunteers with small children at home have not found the line to be a problem or an inconvenience during the daytime shifts.
Am I Alone When I Help Someone?
The volunteer on call is never on the line without support and guidance. A "back-up" person, an experienced volunteer or staff, is always available, if needed.
What Is The Commitment?
The program requests a commitment of volunteers scheduling themselves for four daytime &/or evening shifts per month. There is a monthly meeting that allows the volunteers to connect and often a short refresher is offered. Attendance at these meetings is mandatory.
So You Might Be Interested In Volunteering?
If you are interested, please call the Estevan or Weyburn office for more information. For now, the volunteer program for the line is based out of Estevan and therefore we are only able to utilize volunteers from Estevan and nearby communities. Weyburn and area volunteers are utilized for crisis intervention and program promotion.
We look forward to hearing from you. You are needed.
