Community Helpline Training Course

The Marion &  Aaron Gural JCC, together with the Jewish Women’s Leadership Council (JWLC) and UJA Federation,  is creating a 24/6 community helpline for anyone who needs to reach out.  We are training professionals as well as lay volunteers to man the helpline in two hour shifts, to be a compassionate, listening ear,  a broad shoulder to lean on and a link to getting callers who need it, concrete assistance. We need many volunteers and hope to set the helpline up as quickly as possible.  If you want to be a part of this important initiative and can join our training on Monday October 30th at 7:00 pm, please fill out the form.

We look forward to working together to support each other and to hear of the safe return of our wounded, captured and fighting brethren.

Please register below. Registration is required.
