Volunteer Application

For nearly 40 years, Gryphon Place volunteers have been helping community members in times of need. Volunteers on the 2-1-1/HELP-Line come from diverse backgrounds, but they share a common desire to help others. Volunteers provide emotional support in a non-judgmental manner, are empathic and understanding, and offer information and referral about local community resources.

Volunteering with Gryphon Place

We have a long history of relying upon volunteers! In fact, many volunteers from decades ago tell us how much they benefited from their time at Gryphon Place . We are proud of that history.

The volunteers of Gryphon Place are some of the best. Their dedication and expertise is apparent. This is probably due to the fact that every volunteer has successfully completed extensive training. Currently, we utilize the services of over 100 people.
