A CTL recruitment post.
Nov. 6th, 2015 01:32 pmAs people, mainly teenagers but also people younger and older, from young enough to barely figure out typing on a phone to old enough to barely figure out typing on a phone, learn about CTL, our usage has gone up exponentially.
This is WONDERFUL. This is an amazing success story, and as you can imagine, we LOVE this fact.
But, as you can imagine, it requires more and more volunteer counselors. We are now attempting to increase our number of counselors exponentially, too, while maintaining quality.
The main way we're doing this? Having those of us who are already volunteering reach out to our friends. The idea is that each of us probably know a lot of people who are ALSO decent and caring human beings.
And I know that that is true of me. I know that MOST of you are decent and caring human beings. And even some of you who AREN'T are good enough at faking it that you IN PRACTICE are decent and caring human beings. Which, as it turns out, is the same thing.
So, I'm reaching out to you.
If you have:
1. A caring heart
2. A four-hour chunk of time a week
3. A laptop or desktop computer with reliable Internet connection
4. An age of eighteen years or older
I really encourage you to go to http://www.crisistextline.org/join-our-efforts/volunteer/ and sign up. We need you.
For most of you, item #2 is going to be the difficult one, I know. But if you can find it in your week, please think about it.
Now, something else I'm going to throw out there: a lot of you actually have experience in social work and counselling and leading teams yourself. And, as you can imagine, as we get more volunteer counselors, we're going to need more supervisors, too. They've got a couple people who's full-time job is looking for them, but I want to point those of you who are qualified to https://crisistextline.workable.com/jobs/85233
That's a full-time job, and most of you who are qualified for it already HAVE jobs. But maybe you are looking for a new gig, or you know someone who is. So I'd like to point you to that, too. We need YOU, too.
