"The training changed my life.  Even if I never got to facilitate a group, it was the best thing I ever did." A Good Grief volunteer 

Adult volunteers are needed to facilitate our growing Good Grief Center support group programs.  All volunteers attend a 36-hour training and make a one year volunteer commitment. Good Grief is a peer support group model; you do not need a background in therapy, counseling, or child development to be selected.  

More than 80 volunteer facilitators comprise our team of committed listeners. Join our community and make a difference in the life of a grieving child . . .
