Your non-clinical volunteering doesn't include in-person service orientation activities such as food distribution, shelter volunteer, job/tax preparation, transportation services, or housing rehabilitation. Dance marathon is fundraising, which does not count in this bucket. Find opportunities to apply your training in crisis text line to in-person settings, like as a homeless/veterans/family shelter volunteer.
