Volunteer Opportunity - Support young people in crisis!
Are you a compassionate person who has some experience in supporting people through tough times?
Zeal is looking for volunteers to become online crisis counsellors - we'll give you all the training and supervision you need, and you'll be surrounded by a supportive team when you're on shift.
In a world-first project, we identify young people in crisis online and reach out to them through social media, offering immediate support to help them through their hardest times.
You'll need to be available for one 4-hour shift per week, based at Zeal's centre in Henderson.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
