I wanted to pass information along about a great volunteer opportunity, taking STI (sexually transmitted infection) Hotline Calls for the STI Resource Center of the American Social Health Association in Durham, N.C. It's a great opportunity to help folks with questions and to learn about sexually transmitted infections, as well, as ASHA is one of the leading research organizations in the field of STIs, especially herpes. You can be as flexible as you want regarding your time and commitment level. I am passing along ASHA's announcement below...
ASHA has for more than 25 years been the American public's first place to go when they have questions about their sexual health, specifically STDs. Our call center can take as many as 25000 calls a year, but being a small nonprofit that number of callers is difficult to answer.
Our staff is very dedicated to the subject and any volunteer would be well trained before taking the first call. Most calls last about 5 minutes and you'll be talking about testing, how to talk to partners, treatment options, etc.
If you feel that people need more information -- not less -- and that you would like to volunteer to take calls, please contact us.
Skills
Able to answer the calls in a clear and non-judgmental manner.
Spanish speakers are a plus.
