In fact, many of our services are provided by trained volunteer staff. Volunteers receive training to answer phones, describe our services to callers, make consultation appointments, receive clients and visitors to the office, and assist in our daily functions. They may also present education and training sessions for community members, other professionals, NCADA-BA staff and other volunteers, depending on their expertise.  </FONT></div> <div> Some of these volunteers choose to continue training to become NCADA-BA consultants. A consultant assists people who are concerned about their own or another's use of alcohol or other drugs by assessing and providing accurate information and referrals.</div> <bR> <div> Other volunteers answer our Helpline, the only 24-hour alcoholism information line in San Francisco. The Helpline is a telephone service that operates from the offices of NCADA-BA during regular business hours and from volunteer's homes during the hours that NCADA-BA office is closed. Helpline volunteers provide telephone support for individuals who have concerns and questions about substance abuse, and they provide accurate, helpful information and referrals. Finally, volunteers assist people who are in crisis and provide information to callers such as meeting times and locations.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Qualifications</B></div> <bR> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Wing0a7300a700f000000000.png" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Must live in the Bay Area</div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Wing0a7300a700f000000000.png" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Must have an environment at home that allows volunteers to give undivided attention to Helpline calls</div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Wing0a7300a700f000000000.png" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Must be supportive of the NCADA mission</div> <bR> <div> <B>Training & Skills</B></div> <bR> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Wing0a7300a700f000000000.png" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Must complete Helpline training, which includes attending two Alcoholics Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous meetings and two co-dependent meetings (Al-Anon)</div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Wing0a7300a700f000000000.png" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Must have some counseling skills</div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Wing0a7300a700f000000000.png" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Must have good active-listening skills</div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Wing0a7300a700f000000000.png" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Must know (or can quickly learn) the basics of alcoholism and substance abuse</div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Wing0a7300a700f000000000.png" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Must learn and be knowledgeable of NCADA-BA procedures</div> <bR> <div> <B>Time Commitment</B></div> <div> Helpline shifts are flexible, but must be scheduled in cooperation with the volunteer coordinator.
