Marilyn L. Interviewer

Become a volunteer interviewer with Crisis Control Ministry! 

Volunteer interviewer's main objective is to gather the neighbor’s information. The interviewer should be respectful, compassionate, and understanding of the client's needs. Crisis Control offers both in-person interviews and phone interviews. As an interviewer, you will hear firsthand from neighbors going through a financial crisis. You will listen to their story and ask them for confidential information so that an informed decision can be made about granting assistance. You will also discuss the neighbor's crisis with a staff member to determine if we can assist the neighbor through their crisis. 

What is a crisis? Crisis Control defines a crisis as something out of the ordinary, unexpected that happens and prevents a household from meeting their essential life needs. Crisis Control Ministry can potentially help residents of Forsyth and Stokes Counties with rent, rent deposits, mortgage, and utility payments as well as food assistance and prescription medications. 

Volunteer Requirements:

  • Great customer service
  • Active listening skills
  • Basic computer skills
  • Must pass a background check

The volunteer position is a 3-hour weekly commitment. 

Training is provided. 

If interested, contact Abbey McCall, Director of Community & Volunteer Relations, at 336-770-1621 or email her at amccall@crisiscontrol.org for a volunteer application.
