Offer a listening ear?
Do you often hear that you are a good listener? Then volunteering at the Listening Line might be something for you. As a volunteer at the Listening Line, you offer a listening ear to people with concerns, sadness or problems. People often feel alone. You are there for the other person by listening, asking questions and organizing thoughts. You do this anonymously, by telephone or chat. We receive more than 500,000 calls every year. The need for an anonymous listening ear is greater than ever. What does it get you? - You will receive professional training in conversation and listening skills. This training period takes approximately 3 months and is experienced by other volunteers as fascinating, but also as intensive. - You will receive guidance and support from our professionals at any time - You participate in inspiring meetings on topics such as loneliness, loss and depression. - You have fascinating conversations that are not only meaningful to the other person, but also to you. - You are part of a close-knit team of volunteers What do you give? - You listen without judgement, which requires an open and eager to learn attitude. We therefore think it is important that you are open to learning, reflecting and receiving feedback on your performance. - On average you work 4 hours per week. This can be one 4-hour shift or two 2-hour shifts, at a time and place that suits you. - The need for conversation is greatest at night. Once a month you do a 4-hour shift or 2 2-hour shifts. Do you want to mean something to someone else? Are you involved? Do you want to further develop your listening and conversation skills? Do you have enough time in your agenda and space in your head and heart? Then we would like to meet you!
