New York State Chaplain Task Force, is a 501c3 Not-For-Profit organization that trains, develops, and maintains highly skilled volunteer Inter-Faith Community Crisis Chaplains to support and cooperate with individuals, as well as city, federal, religious, and secular agencies and organizations, both during peace times and during times of crisis. Our 5000 plus members, currently representing eleven major faith groups, bring images of order in the midst of chaos and hope in the midst of despair. They practice active listening over speaking and advise at all levels, offering honest and candid moral and spiritual guidance to all regardless of beliefs or culture, while never promoting their own faith, belief system, personal or political views. Furthermore, our volunteer chaplains have all undergone extensive background checks at the local, state, and federal levels, are certified in FEMA IS100c - Incident Command System and protocols, and FEMA IS505 – Religious and Cultural Literacy and Competency, as well as in Mental Health First Aid, First Aid, CPR & AED and in Opioid Overdose Reversal. We take pride in providing 24/7, 365 day a year emergency spiritual and emotional support services. Our chaplains are currently volunteering (with approximately 10% employed) within various fields such as hospitals, nursing homes, assisted living facilities, hospice, law enforcement, VA Clinics, shelters, re-entry centers, transit authorities, soup kitchens, food pantries, corporate America, CBO’s, FBO’s, addiction treatment centers, prisons, and jails.
