VOLUNTEERING

YouthLine is a great place to learn all the things they don’t teach you in school! Like: How do you talk to a friend who is doing drugs? How do you know if a relationship is controlling and potentially abusive? What do you say to someone who’s thinking of killing themselves? What is child abuse and what can you do as a teen to help someone who’s being mistreated? YouthLine holds peer helper trainings every January and July. If you are between the ages of 15-18, are in the greater Portland metro area, and are able to commit to at least 3 hours a week for a minimum of 6 months to answer calls from other teens, consider becoming a peer helper on YouthLine! Our next training is being held on the following days (all hours are required) Tuesdays, January 16, 23, and 30 from 6-10pm Thursdays, January 18, 25, and Feb. 1 from 6-10pm Saturdays, January 20 and 27 from 10am-6pm
