"Nightline has really taught me that community and building connections are everything. It's expanded my horizons on what can be accomplished and the power of collectivity."

"Listening matters! It seems so simple and so easy but it's quite complex and can be incredibly valuable to people."

"I believe that having a space where people will actively listen to you talk about anything and support you in that is really special and valuable."

"The Nightline's capacity to offer pure active listening where the person listening is truly emphasizing with you is what makes it so unique...I really appreciate the experience and everything I learned while there. I can't wait to continue to see the Nightline grow and reach more people!"

"I try to say this as much as possible, but since since the Nightline is still in its early stages, there is so much more room for growth and I want every volunteer to feel some sort of ownership over the organization, to have them feel like it's theirs and that they want to take care of it and do their best for our callers."

"I think everyone who joins — all the trainers and volunteers — are so tender-hearted and authentically caring, which creates this unique entity that's completely different than any other."

"It can be hard, I think, for people to ask others to listen to them, to feel that they deserve the space to be heard without necessarily being charming or interesting or receiving advice. It's hard to ask for space, and at Nightline we provide that."

"It was once I began volunteering here that I realized how rare it is to have people truly listen to you -- through no fault of their own, everyone is somewhat wrapped up in their own lives, and during conversations people often are just thinking of their next response instead of truly listening to you."
