Volunteer as a Listener

A Listener is someone at the Community Centre in Bandra, Mumbai (open Wednesday to Sunday, 12pm to 8pm) who offers emotional support to any participant who asks for it.

Emotional support means active listening, empathising and reflecting β€” never solving problems or giving advice. Listeners can point people to other support, like Agatsu's therapy clinic or our resource sheet.

We'll email you when the next call for Listeners opens.

  • Attend the training across two weeks and pass the evaluation.
  • Commit to at least 6 months, for at least 2 hours a week.
  • Attend the weekly offloading sessions.
  • Be 18 or older, and live in Mumbai for the training and the volunteership.
  • You'll receive a certificate after your first 6 months, or when your volunteership ends β€” whichever is later.

* marks a required question. Having trouble with this form? Email us.

You need to be 18 or older to apply.
