Justyn Fizgerald

Volunteer Coordinator

Coordinator of New Volunteers

Justyn has been with our agency for over 6 months. Her original role was to assist with designing brochures and other print materials. Given that she is a high school student, we have been very pleased with her commitment. For this reason, in May 2020, we asked her if she wanted to fill a newly created position, Volunteer Coordinator. Justyn jumped into the position with both feet and has put tremendous effort into a very difficult role. Given that we have over 60 volunteers - and only volunteers managing other volunteers, keeping everything organized requires patience and organization. Justyn's work is exceptional!!!

Huizhe Zhu

Managing Volunteer

Database Coordinator & Volunteer Manager

Sunny joined our team in 2019 as a database volunteer. Because of her skill and experience, she soon had #4Help correcting and updating the way we added data about hotlines, helplines and chat lines to our master database. After a few months, Sunny agreed to take on a manager's role, assisting with the development of an updated training program for our Database Team volunteers. We would not have accomplished as much as we did during our first year in operation, but for Sunny's hard work.

Parvathy Sarma

Managing Volunteer

HelpUnited Outreach Team Coordinator

Parvathy is one of our agency's first volunteers, and she has been with us longer than any other volunteer. She has been tasked with coordinating our first, full-scale boots on ground, outreach project, National Hotline Volunteers Month ("NHVM"). Parvathy has taken on this tremendous responsibility and has never wavered from working towards our goal of recruiting 200 high schools, with at least 10 students per high school, to assist us by distributing NHVM materials in their areas during the month of October 2020. Parvathy is an amazing person indeed!

Jon Ruscoe

Managing Volunteer

Database Coordinator & Volunteer Manager

When Jon started volunteering for our agency, we could tell right away that he was a special person. His kindness and genuine personality could not help but shine through. Once he made it very obvious that his skills were worthy of a managerial role, he was promoted to his present position. We are very fortunate that Jon chose to volunteer for the Database Team. He has and continues to play a critical role at #4Help.

Robert Robinson

Database Manager

Added thousands of hotline, helpline and chat line services to our database and trained a team of volunteers how to use our systems.

Robert has been the best database team member volunteer. We know that his fellow volunteers agree with this assessment. Robert does not follow the "do as I say" rule of management. Robert is old school - "do as I do... and try to keep up with me. We are very fortunate that Robert agreed to volunteer for us, back in 2019. He has singlehandedly made our Hotline Directory much better than it would have been but for his help.>
