Volunteer for the Covenant House NINELINE and be a Lifeline for Street Kids
Kids on the street are prey to criminals who see them as valuable commodities. Unless someone presents them with a better option, homeless youth soon become slaves to street life.
But with help, there is hope. Many homeless youth on the street right now, choosing to stay off drugs, saying no to selling themselves and avoiding gang life. We have a window of opportunity to find them, and help them through these difficult choices. One connection to lead them from the darkness of the streets to the light of hope...
The Covenant House NINELINE (1 800 999-9999) provides telephone crisis intervention to homeless, runaway and other troubled youth and their families nationwide.
Volunteers are needed to keep the NINELINE open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Our volunteers help connect youth to their families, arrange transportation home or to a safe shelter and also provide appropriate referrals.
Part of the requirements to becoming a volunteer for NINELINE are the following:
- Volunteers must commit at least four hours a day for at least once a week.
- They must complete and pass a Two-Part Basic Training. (Training for volunteers is usually provided on the weekends.)
Volunteers are special and unique people who dedicate their time to a cause that can change the lives of kids and parents in need. Volunteering for NINELINE provides a sense of meaning that many people find satisfying.
