Volunteer

Telephone Bereavement Support Program Volunteer

Our program matches trained volunteers who have also experienced the loss of someone close to them with caregivers or family members looking for support. The consistency of the volunteer creates a long-standing, trusting relationship.

Have you lost a loved one, and would you like to help support someone else through the grieving process? Although not essential, having experience in counselling or nursing is a great compliment to the position.

Companion Program Volunteer/Companion

Companion Program Volunteers support clients and their families to cultivate connections and promote quality of life. The volunteer is responsible for connecting with assigned clients/families to offer companionship and resourcing while assessing and supporting their needs within the volunteer’s scope of practice.

Children’s Grief Centre Program Volunteers

Volunteer (once every couple months) to assist with set-up, activities, and take-down during our family drop-in program, The Village. Future activities include Light the Path and cookie and Grinch tree decorating during the holiday season.

This opportunity is open to youth who have accessed our programs in the past or to those who simply have a passion for helping families in our community.
