Crisis Hotline Responder – Stipend-Based Part-Time Role
Join our team as a crisis coverage employee (CCE) and help make a positive difference right here in Lake County by responding to crisis hotline calls. Our part-time crisis coverage employees:
- Provide emotional support and safety for those in danger
- Develop emergency- and crisis-response skills
- Earn extra income while serving the community
After you complete your paid training, earn $50 to $200/shift answering after-hours crisis calls and responding on-site in Lake County when needed. Shifts typically begin Monday at 5 p.m. and end the following Monday at 8 a.m. In between, you’ll answer hotline calls that come in outside of ALC’s Mon-Fri 8-5 business hours.
ALC will provide a mobile phone, laptop, and on-call binder that you will pick up on Monday before your shift begins and return the following Monday after it ends.
You must provide your own transportation and be able to respond to in person to calls in Lake County within 45 minutes of the request; you may be required to transport one or more clients (e.g., parent and two children) in your personal vehicle if needed.

ALC Board Director – Volunteer Role
ALC accepts applications on a rolling basis for individuals interested in serving as a member of our volunteer Board of Directors. Board members typically serve a 3-year term, and may act as a Director at Large or as Board Chair, Vice-Chair, Secretary, or Treasurer.
Regardless of their role on the Board, all directors attend 10 Board meetings each year, supervise the Executive Leadership Team and assist with special projects, participate in fundraising and outreach efforts, and respond to Board communications throughout the year.
We’re seeking candidates who care about violence prevention work and advocacy, homelessness response and prevention, and community violence prevention, and who have about 3-6 hours a month to contribute to ALC. Find more details and submit our Board Interest Form here.
