Our HelpLine volunteer recruitment applications are OPEN!
LGBT YouthLine is seeking 2SLGBTQ+ youth, age 16-29, to join our remote HelpLine as anonymous Peer Support Volunteers. In this role, you will provide support to other 2SLGBTQ+ youth across Ontario via text and chat.
Don’t worry if you don’t have prior experience with peer support – we offer a comprehensive 12-week online training program to equip you with the necessary skills. The foundation of peer support lies in connection, validation, and affirmation through shared experiences, so your authentic understanding of what it’s like to be a queer youth today is more important than being an “expert.”

To apply, please complete this form by August 6 at 11:59 PM.
At this time, we don’t have student placements available. To ensure that students can do meaningful work in areas such as peer support, provincial work, fundraising, event planning, the nonprofit sector, and more, we are currently rethinking what a student program looks like at YouthLine.
We encourage you to stay involved with us in other ways, such as tuning in to our newsletter and social media for updates on opportunities!
