Saving lives and helping others goes on 24/7 in Miami. Tens of thousands of your neighbors make their living making a difference in our community. Now is your opportunity to meet them and recognize the important work they do.
Some of them work or volunteer at 2-1-1/Switchboard, one of Miami's oldest and most enduring non-profit organizations. Switchboard began as a suicide hotline in 1968 and has been answering the call ever since. Today 2-1-1/Switchboard is recognized nationally as a leader in the area of suicide prevention by providing training as well as a 24/7 suicide prevention hotline. In addition, Switchboard manages Miami-Dade County's only comprehensive database of over 5,000 programs and services and makes referrals to callers. Last year alone, Switchboard made 170,434 referrals and helped individuals connect to local social services and organizations.
"Because we connect people and services, we have the opportunity to know and work with Miami-Dade County's many agencies.
