About the volunteering opportunity
[U25] Dortmund is a counseling service for suicidal young people, in which they are counseled by peers. This year, between April and August, we are training a new group of young people who would like to take on a valuable and meaningful voluntary role. Together we can save lives. π
The training consists of 10 dates, spread over Wednesday evenings (5.30 to 8 p.m.) and Saturdays (11 a.m. to 5 p.m.). After the training, the volunteer work involves a few hours of your time per month, depending on how many consultations you take on and how active these consultations are.
