Apply now for our Special Summer 2008
Volunteer Training Class!
Orientation sessions are going on now

I'm one of over 100 volunteers on The Samaritans of New York's confidential
24-hour suicide prevention hotline who donates one morning or afternoon a week and one overnight shift a month responding
to people who are depressed, in crisis and need someone to talk to.
The hotline responds to people with all kinds of problems--the elderly,
teenagers, people suffering from illnesses like cancer and AIDS, the homeless,
victims of crime and sexual violence, and people just like you and me who are
suddenly facing some overwhelming obstacle or personal tragedy and need help
getting through the moment.
The work is challenging, the training intensive, and the experience
rewarding! The organization is non-religious and the volunteers work together
as members of a cooperative team in a safe and comfortable office.
And though you cannot solve everyone's problems, it's satisfying to
know that when someone reaches out for help...You're there!
This special, one-time Summer 2008 volunteer training class will be a
shorter, more intensive version of our typical training program, which
is offered several times a year. Contact us now to attend an orientation
session and learn more about joining this special class!
