H.E.Y.Y. is a non-profit volunteer organization that runs an anonymous community phone line, designed by youth in Toronto. All of the youth counsellors have been carefully screened. They have all completed an extensive thirteen week training period of three hours per week. At the end of our training, they must attend a final intensive weekend long skills building session. In addition, they participate in information sessions, workshops and skills building activities to keep updated on the issues that affect youth. This is an excellent volunteering opportunity as well as a leadership opportunity for youth interested in a long term committment and who are possibly interested in any social services careers.
