Our volunteer facilitators make a four hour, weekly commitment to co-lead a small group of children, teens, young adults or adults. All facilitators must complete an intense 35-hour training and complete a background check before being placed in a support group. Peer support groups meet weekday evenings. We require facilitators, staff and participants be vaccinated and wear masks.
The Center’s peer support groups are back in-person and we added a night of service which will remain online. We invite you to attend one of our Volunteer Info Sessions where you can learn more about being a facilitator and the process to become one. Our next training class is scheduled for March 2023.
In addition to this rewarding work, the Center will have other volunteer opportunities that support Center families and the other services provided to the community.
Contact Sara Reddick at volunteer@cgcmaine.org for Info Session dates and with questions.
We welcome queries about year-long internships (2023-2024) for social work students starting in February of 2023.
