Remote COVID19 Volunteer Opportunities
You can help the Crisis Center while sheltering in place. You can help those in need find the resources they need by expanding our reach during this critical time. The Crisis Center is here 24/7 to help anyone experiencing duress find help and hope. Here are 3 simple remote volunteer activities:
- Please follow us on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and/or Instagram. Help your community be aware of 211 resources and crisis support. Like and share our posts and retweet information to your friends, family, and followers.
- Raise support dollars for vital programs! Use social or other networks to run a campaign of your own, sharing why you support the Crisis Center and the lifesaving programs. Doesn’t have to be big - every little bit adds up!
- Connect communities in need to us. Help the most vulnerable in Co Co County find us by using networks (school or church community, Nextdoor or neighborhood groups, service clubs, other nonprofit organizations, etc., and check that they are aware of services and help available through the Contra Costa Crisis Center.
If you have questions about any of these activities, contact us at social@crisis-center.org. Thank you for your willingness to help. We’re all in this together. Help everyone stay healthy and safe!

Mission Statement
The mission of the Contra Costa Crisis Center is to keep people alive and safe, help them through crises, and provide or connect them with culturally relevant resources in the community.
Description
Every day our professional staff and award-winning volunteers talk with people who are abused, depressed, grieving, suicidal, homeless, and mentally ill. We also provide ongoing grief counseling, support groups, and 211 resource referral and information. Our programs have expanded to include Corporate Caring Volunteer Week for business teams to give back in the community, and the Share the Spirit holiday grant making project.
We are committed to making our services accessible and relevant to people of diverse cultures and backgrounds. We hire diverse staff, recruit and train a diverse pool of volunteers, and ensure that most outreach materials are bilingual. Many members of our staff speak Spanish, and we subscribe to a teleinterpreter service in order to assist callers in additional languages. Staff have written and published articles on the value of cultural competency.
