Volunteer Quotes:

"I have really enjoyed meeting new people at the Distress Centre and helping to

provide a service to those who need it."

 

"I wanted 'hands on' experiences related to my major and I truly got what I

wanted. My experience with the Distress Centre clarified for me what field I

really wanted to go into."

 

"After the 1st year of volunteering at the Distress Centre, I felt very good about

my experiences there and decided to stay on. I am still learning from the

Distress Centre today and hopefully helping others who are in need."

 

 

"I needed volunteer experience to assist with my first career position. I strongly

believe my new employer was impressed that I had chosen to volunteer with

an agency that operates on the front lines of mental health care."

 

"I deal with people all day at my job, the skills I've been taught have helped

me to deal with them more patiently. I find I am able to deal with difficult

situations and individuals without becoming upset and losing my professionalism. "

 

"Just by giving a little bit of my time, an open ear and a sincere caring heart

I have learned so much from our callers. It's definitely a rewarding experience

that has helped me grow.”
