"Volunteering has taught me a lot. The rewards go far beyond just helping people because the work has also changed me in such fundamental ways. When I put aside my own cares to really be present for other people, it brings out the best in me and everyone in my life is richer for it." -Diane
Our volunteers are extraordinary people who make a big difference in the lives of grieving children and adults. They co-lead groups in the evenings in our West Los Angeles and Woodland Hills locations or during the day in various schools throughout Los Angeles County. We ask for a one year commitment. Volunteers receive three days of comprehensive training and they receive group supervision once every other week. The average time commitment is about 10-15 hours per month. Do you speak Spanish? We are also looking for bilingual volunteers for adults. Upcoming training dates:
