Get Involved
Hope Not Handcuffs encourages anyone struggling with a substance use disorder to go to any of our 65 participating agencies and ask for help. Hope Not Handcuffs will dispatch a volunteer “Angel” to meet the participant at the location, offer support, and work with our Hopeline Recovery Specialists to assist the individual with getting placed into treatment.
Volunteer Angels are an integral part of the Hope Not Handcuffs program. If you are a compassionate person who would like to be an Angel and make a difference in someone’s life, we need you! The hours are flexible and the work is incredibly rewarding. If you are interested in becoming a member of the Hope Not Handcuffs team, please follow the steps below and we will be in contact:
-
The first step to becoming an “Angel” is to fill out a simple online form. Angel application form.

After completing the application, you will be contacted with the next available training session.
If you have any questions, please email our Community Engagement Coordinator at: hnhcommunity@gmail.com.
We need police officers like you.
Any law enforcement agency that wishes to partner with Hope Not Handcuffs New York is encouraged to contact the Hope Not Handcuffs Program Director to discuss becoming a partner agency.
