"Out of all the things I do in my life, Lifeline is the one I am most proud of. Giving back to the community and connecting with people in crisis is very meaningful."

Volunteers aren't just part of Lifeline. They are Lifeline.
More than 4,000 crisis supporters answer the phone, respond to texts & chats, and sit with people in their toughest moments, connected by a shared purpose to listen, without judgment. They don't carry that alone. They debrief the hard shifts together, hold space for each other, and find strength in being part of something bigger than any one conversation.
When you volunteer as a crisis supporter, you're not just showing up for the people who reach out. You're joining a community that shows up for you too.
There are many ways to be part of Lifeline.
Volunteers run community programs and support local services. They staff our retail stores and book fairs, raising the funds that make 24/7 crisis support possible. They contribute professional expertise to strengthen how we operate. Every pathway is different. All of them are Lifeline.
Connected by a shared purpose, to each other, and to the people they serve.
