Helpline Counselling

We are looking for compassionate, reliable and enthusiastic volunteers of all ages 18 and over to join us. We offer a high-quality training programme, with good clinical supervision and support for those who volunteer. Being a Helpline Counsellor is a highly rewarding experience. At Youthline Otago, we provide our volunteers with abundant resources and opportunities to deliver direct help to those in need, learn indispensable skills and develop as individuals while having a blast working together along the way.

Training consists of 8 full days over 4 weekends.We run three Induction Training Courses a year in February-March and July-August, and sometimes also November-December. To find out more and to register your interest, please get in touch.

Placement Opportunities

Youthline Otago also offers voluntary internship placements for face to face counselling. Interns must be a New Zealand Association of Counsellors provisional member or equivalent.

General Volunteering

We are always looking for people who are willing to help out in ways other than counselling. If you have skills and time to offer we'd love to hear from you.
