If you have an interest in helping children and families grow through their grief; if you care deeply about children/teens and love to listen to them; if you are able to provide a safe and trusting space for children to share their emotions; and if you can make a commitment of time and energy to work with our families, we have a place for you.
Volunteers are needed to facilitate bi-weekly support groups for children and adults coping with loss due to death. Volunteers serve as "loving listeners" and may work with children ranging in age from 3-18, young adults 19-30, or with parents and other adults. Children meet with other children their same age in groups no larger than twelve per group. Volunteers attend a 3 day 24-hour training and must commit to serving for one-year every other week.
