About Samaritans Samaritans Wellington has been providing confidential emotional support to over 20,000 callers per year for 59 years!

About you We are on the hunt for a special kind of person. To best support our callers, we need a team of diverse volunteers who are:

• Good listeners • Empathetic • Committed • Resilient!

Not all of our callers are suicidal, but they all have a story. At times, these can be confronting or of a serious nature. For this reason, we need volunteers who are resilient and not afraid to have difficult conversations. Our next training course starts on Saturday, 31 July.

Please attend one of the Public Information Sessions to ensure you are fully informed about the role before deciding whether to proceed with the application process and training.

Options for the Public Information sessions are:

Saturday, 15 June, at 2 pm or Thursday, 20 June, at 6:00 pm

Please email [email protected] to confirm which Public Information session you will be attending.
