211 Resource Center Specialist Volunteer

Volunteer Resource Specialists serve as a vital link to social services in the community and utilize non-judgmental active listening skills to address callers’ needs. Calls are received from individuals of all ages who may need information and referrals to social service organizations, may just want to talk, may be in distress, or may even be suicidal. Volunteers must have previous crisisline experience, and are accepted on a case by case basis.

Sunshine is a free daily telephone reassurance program that is designed to check on the well-being of more than 400 homebound, disabled, and seniors living in our community. Volunteers make friendly phone calls from our office to check on the welfare of Sunshine clients.
