Want to help out at the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention?

Help the Out of the Darkness Overnight Staff compile check-in envelopes for people participating in the final 2017 Out of the Darkness Overnight Walk in Washington D.C. (June 17-18). This is one of our largest Volunteer Nights of the year, so we need all hands on deck to help out at the Overnight Offices for our Volunteer Night on Wednesday, May 31 from 4-8pm. Our offices are located at 120 Wall St., 29th Floor, New York, NY 10005. You will need to bring a photo ID to gain access to the building. If you are interested in joining us, please RVSP for this Volunteer Night by filling out our 2017 Volunteer Night Form (please copy and paste the following link into your web browser to fill out the form: https://goo.gl/forms/2gvwwGYANaFw1zr33). If you are unable to attend this time, but would like to be added to our Volunteer Database, please email us and let us know.

The Out of the Darkness Overnight Walk is the flagship fundraising event for AFSP and is responsible for almost 15% of AFSP’s annual income. This event takes place in two cities every year, providing the opportunity for our nation to take a stand against suicide and mental illness. Our first Overnight this year was in San Diego (May 20-21). The Overnight in Washington, D.C. is our final Overnight for 2017. To find out more, please visit theovernight.org. The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) is the leading national not-for-profit organization exclusively dedicated to understanding and preventing suicide through research, education and advocacy, and reaching out to people with mental disorders and those impacted by suicide.
