30 Second video about Volunteering @ Headquarters (QT)
Being a good friend is great preparation for volunteering at Headquarters! At any given time, HQ may have from 35 to 60 counseling volunteers, of various ages and life experiences. Most of our volunteers do not have previous counseling experience or any specific common history. (Our extensive training covers the knowledge and skills needing to be an effective volunteer counselor). Our volunteers share a desire to help people, and an openness to growing from the unique experience of working as a volunteer counselor.
