Volunteer Stories

Volunteering as a recovery coach has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Using my own journey with recovery to help others has given me a sense of purpose I never knew was possible.

I started volunteering after my nephew struggled with substance use. The training I received was exceptional, and I now feel equipped to make a difference both on the helpline and in my community.

As a marketing professional, I've been able to use my skills to help The Final Project reach more people. It's rewarding to know my work is contributing to such an important cause.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the requirements to volunteer?

Requirements vary by position. Most roles require you to be at least 18 years old, complete a background check, and participate in our training program. Some positions may require specific experience or qualifications.

Do I need personal experience with substance use to volunteer?

While personal experience can be valuable for some roles, it's not required for all positions. We have many opportunities where lived experience is not necessary, and we provide comprehensive training for all volunteers.

What kind of training do you provide?

We provide extensive training that covers substance use disorders, communication skills, boundary setting, crisis intervention, and specific protocols for your volunteer role. Training typically includes both online modules and in-person sessions.

How much time do I need to commit?

Time commitments vary by role. Some positions require regular weekly shifts (typically 3-4 hours), while others are more flexible or project-based. We'll work with you to find a commitment that fits your schedule.

Can I volunteer remotely?

Yes, we have several remote volunteer opportunities, including helpline response, administrative support, and some professional skill-based roles. Some positions do require in-person interaction.
