Volunteer on the 24/7 Helpline

Be the Support Someone Needs

Each day, people who struggle with loneliness, depression, or suicidal feelings turn to Samaritans’ 24/7 Helpline for nonjudgmental support. On the other side of a phone call or text message, they find a caring listener ready to provide compassion. You can be that caring listener!

Please complete the inquiry form below and we will contact you with information on how to proceed with the volunteer application process. If you are a student interested in an internship placement, please reach out to Mackenzie at [email protected].

We truly appreciate your interest in volunteering with us to support those in need during these very challenging times.

Our Services

Samaritans provides lifesaving suicide prevention services throughout Greater Boston, MetroWest, and across Massachusetts. Our services are free, confidential, and nonjudgmental.

You can call or text us anytime you feel isolated, desperate, suicidal, or concerned about someone else in your life.

Hey Sam is a peer-to-peer texting service for people up to 24 years old.

If you have lost a loved one to suicide, you can find support through events, meetings, and peer networks.

Learn how to help someone in crisis by hosting a suicide prevention workshop at your school, workplace, or organization.
