Volunteer on the 24/7 Helpline

Thank you for your interest!

Thank you so much for your interest in volunteering with Samaritans. You are among many caring individuals who have recently expressed interest in volunteering with us, creating a healthy list of inquiries that we are currently processing.

In order to best equip our volunteers to take Helpline calls, our training program provides a great deal of personalized attention. Classes are currently full (with waitlists). We are not accepting inquiries at the moment. We anticipate reopening our application process in the next two months. We truly appreciate your interest in volunteering with us to support those in need during these very challenging times.   

Please know that we will maintain your confidentiality. Samaritans never shares personal information.
