Looking for meaningful ways to contribute positively and help those affected by the Covid-19 pandemic? Volunteer to handle helpline calls at the Lockdown Relief Project.
24x7 Lockdown Helpline, started by a citizen group has been operational since March 2020 to help in the time of a growing crisis caused by the pandemic. Volunteers at the helpline connect callers to NGOs or volunteers who handle relief work in the caller's area. So far, the helpline has handled over 13,000 calls from distressed individuals and families about problems such as shortage of food, milk for kids, dialysis support, medicine support, transport, care for elderly, etc.
How can volunteers help?:
A helpline volunteer's role will be to answer calls, document the call details and allocate the calls to a fulfilment volunteer.
Once volunteers sign up, someone from the Lockdown Relief Project will reach out to them. An orientation video will be shared which will include all the details they will need.
Things to keep in mind:
Volunteers must have:
- an empathetic approach
- fluency in Hindi. Fluency in Marathi is a bonus.
- a functional laptop/PC and be comfortable with MS Excel
- a stable mobile network
- a stable broadband connection
Time commitment needed by the Volunteer:
21 hours per week for 4 weeks
