Volunteering at PATH has been an incredibly enriching experience. I have learned so much about communication, human services and mental health by being a crisis line volunteer. I take every opportunity to become more involved at PATH including becoming an assistant volunteer trainer for new trainees because I love the organization. The training to be a crisis line volunteer is comprehensive and PATH is accredited by the American Association of Suicidology for its rigorous continuing education and stringent standards. By the end of the eight week training, you will be more than prepared to answer any call. Though sometimes challenging, volunteering at PATH has been a very rewarding experience. The staff are friendly and supportive and the work that PATH does is vital for my community as well as for surrounding communities that utilize PATH's services. PATH really does save and improve lives in so many ways.
