Brooke’s Place provides peer support groups for young people ages 3 - 29, who have experienced the death of a significant person. Being a buddy often includes more behind-the-scenes effort and less direct contact with families. Buddies help set the atmosphere for our program. Duties include preparing rooms for evening activities, greeting families as they arrive, set up/clean up for dinner, serving pizza & drinks, assisting facilitators with obtaining supplies, and helping with clean-up after program night activities.
When:
- Two evenings per month
- Monday, Tuesday, or Thursday evenings
- From 5:30-8:30pm on a set schedule
Where:
- Northside: St. Luke's United Methodist Church
- Westside: Kingsway Christian Church
