Grief Support Services offers a rewarding opportunity for people to provide compassionate support for grieving children, teens, and adults. Hospice volunteers are an integral part of the team. Volunteers are needed to co-facilitate peer support groups for all ages.

Kids, teens, and parents meet in small peer groups for discussion and age-appropriate activities designed to explore different aspects of grief. Training, ongoing support and supervision is provided by staff.
