We will be offering groups at our Children’s Bereavement Centers in Mission Valley and Escondido September through May. Groups meet in the afternoon and evenings Monday through Wednesday (schedule varies by location), biweekly. Volunteers make a monthly commitment of 6 hours for a nine-month season.

Please take a moment to submit a volunteer application by Wednesday, September 6 by following this link: Peer Group Volunteer Application. New volunteers are required to attend our two-day Children’s Bereavement Volunteer Facilitator Training hosted on Saturday, September 9 and Sunday, September 109:00am-5:00pm in Mission Valley.
