OPPORTUNITY

Could you volunteer for Shout?

Shout Volunteers are at the heart of everything we do. They're often the first person our texters have ever spoken to about how they are feeling.

As a Volunteer, you work to take someone in distress to a calmer place. In return, you receive 25 hours of free, in-depth mental health communication training and ongoing dedicated coaching, to help others while developing skills for life.

We're opening up applications for volunteers in both UK and New Zealand for a short time, for those who can start training in early 2022.
