Volunteers
Office Volunteer: If you are available for 2-4 hours per week and would like to gain experience in a healthcare office, please consider becoming a Samaritan Volunteer. Light office duties include answering phones, welcoming clients, filing papers, and helping with mailings. Every hour makes a difference, helping us keep our costs low so that we never turn away anyone who needs help.
Social Media Ambassador: If you spend 1-2 hours per month on social media, we invite you to regularly share mental health news, events, and stories on your social media. It doesn’t have to be related to our Center, but it should be positive and respectful. To share ideas, we will add you to our monthly “Mental Health Moment” email list.
Event Ambassador: Interested in helping out at free mental health education workshops? Throughout the year, there are opportunities to help with event check-in tables, refreshments, resource tables, and information.
Requirements: Ages 18+; signed confidentiality agreement.
Ready to become a volunteer? Email your name and contact information, a statement of interest, and days/times you may be available to info@samaritanhawaii.org. Our regular office hours are Monday through Friday, 8 am to 3 pm.

If you are energetic, committed to mental health, passionate about access to quality mental health care, and want to make a difference in people’s lives, please consider serving on the Board. The all-volunteer Board’s primary responsibilities are strategic oversight and fundraising.
Benefits of serving on the Board: You can build strong relationships with other interfaith board members and supporters; gain leadership experience; and ensure that people have access to compassionate, quality mental health services in Hawai’i.
