SECOND LINE is currently seeking international volunteers who are available either (1) to join our first cohort and prepare to travel to Israel for a period of six weeks-three months, or (2) who are available remotely via Zoom to work with Israelis in Israel and abroad.
We seek volunteers who are licensed professionals with relevant experience including:
- Masters in clinical psychology, psychotherapy, social work, or related field
- Previous training in trauma techniques is preferred
- We also seek volunteers trained in alternative techniques / expressive arts therapy (e.g., art therapy, children’s therapy, etc.) where we may consider non-priority language speakers
- Native Hebrew speakers are top priority, with second priority given to native Arabic, French, Russian, Ukrainian, Amharic and Spanish speakers
All volunteers will participate in Zoom pre-training provided by the Israel Trauma Coalition (“ITC”) before commencing. Candidates will undergo credentials screening. Acceptance is not guaranteed.
Once volunteers are vetted and approved, they will be distributed where there is greatest need, and will work with communities from the south of Israel, who are currently evacuated throughout the country.
WE ARE CURRENTLY PRIORITIZING VOLUNTEERS WHO ARE PREPARED TO TRAVEL TO ISRAEL AND PROVIDE IN PERSON CARE ("DIRECT CARE PROGRAM"), BUT ENCOURAGE ALL THOSE INTERESTED TO SIGN UP AS WE PLAN FOR VIRTUAL CARE ("REMOTE CARE PROGRAM") AND OTHER OPPORTUNITIES IN THE NEAR TERM.
