Children’s Grief Center Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteer Facilitator

Volunteer Facilitator

Are you a good listener? Volunteers are needed to help facilitate our peer support group. Volunteers are skillfully prepared through our 15-hour facilitator training where they learn communication skills like Reflective Listening and participate in creative activities to connect and share with each other in training. They are asked to make a commitment for one year of group, September to May. Groups meet bi-monthly. Consistent attendance is important to ensure consistency for kids and their families.

Do you enjoy Fundraising, Marketing, Finance, Budgeting, or Public Relations? Consider joining an Advisory Board.
