CONFIDENTIAL VOLUNTEER QUESTIONNAIRE
This questionnaire will assist Copline facilitators in getting to know you and assess your readiness to be a volunteer. The information requested will allow us to provide realistic role playing and prepare you for the role of active listener with Copline. Some of the questions contained in this form center around issues related to volunteering on the hotline and may appear to be personal in nature. We require honest answers to allow for the best assessment and training opportunities.

Thank you,
Stephanie Samuels, Director
