Family Paths Helpline Volunteer application form
Applications are accepted year-round. Fill out the application below and you will be contacted with more details and with the link to a Helpline Volunteer Information Session.

Family Paths falls under the current California Department of Public Health (CDPH) and State Public Health Officer Orders which requires all workers (paid or unpaid) who provide services or work in facilities covered by the order to (1) have received their full dosage/s of an approved vaccine against COVID-19 and provide documentation of such, or (2) If exempt per a valid exemption as permitted by the order, complete an exemption accommodation request form. An approved exemption would result in the exempted employee being required to wear a proper face mask while working and be tested weekly for COVID-19.  

Our 2-weekend Pre-Service Training is mandatory. Pre-Service Volunteer Training for Fall 2023 is full.
Applications will be accepted for a spring volunteer pre-service training. Dates TBD.

NOTE: VOLUNTEERS MUST BE LOCAL (near the SF Bay Area).

Questions can be directed to Vanessa Hernandez, Helpline Program Coordinator at vhernandez@familypaths.org.

Why are you interested in volunteering as a helpline counselor?
This work requires both effective relational and organizational abilities. How would you describe your skills and experience in these areas?
What do you think harms a child?
What do you think makes a parent effective?
Think about this example: A single mother has three children under the age of seven. She is new to the area with no immediate family support. She loses her job. She is expressing anger and is very anxious about how she will provide for her children. What ideas might you have in responding to this parent and her situation?
This volunteer position involves being able to use a computer to do basic data entry and search for resources on a data base system while talking with callers on the phone. What is your experience with and comfort level using computers in this way?
