A Volunteer Counselor is needed to provide clinical support to individuals challenged mentally or emotionally. Counseling needs may vary according to gender violence, behavioral challenges, HIV/AIDS, immigration issues, poverty, drug abuse, social disorder, and mental disability. Provide walk-in counseling service, assess counseling needs in the community, provide counselor training upon request, and offer counseling assistance to agencies in our community (Women’s Department, Police Department, schools, etc.). Volunteers are required to sign an oath of confidentiality.
