Are you a good listener? Volunteer Group Facilitators are needed to help with the children's Grief Center's peer support grief groups. As a volunteer you will receive a wonderful two-day training where you will explore and share your own life journey. You will participate in similar activities that the kids do in group and you will create a peer support group within your own training classmates. Children's Grief groups are held two nights/month throughout the school year in Midland, Saginaw, and Bay City, as well as programs during the summer. We ask for a minimum commitment of one school year. Consistent attendance is important to ensure the development of the group as a cohesive unit.
Our next Facilitator Training is scheduled for Friday, January 10th from 6-9 pm and Saturday, January 11th from 9-6pm.
Volunteer Facilitators must attend both dates of training. There is a suggested $50 donation for training materials and costs. Note: Training Scholarships are available upon request.
Wear comfortable clothes....
On Friday night there will be snacks, and on Saturday breakfast and lunch will be provided.
Volunteers are an integral and important part of the Children's Grief Center. There are many different ways you can get involved to help create a healing space for grieving children in our community!
Training is held at Angelheart Studio - 4702 James Savage Rd. Midland, MI 48642
Please call 989-495-9335 to register for training or email admin@childrensgriefglbr.org.
