Volunteer Opportunities... Become a Volunteer!

The following are all of the volunteer opportunities available at Willow Center.

Monthly Support Group Facilitators

Work with children, teens and adult support groups at the Willow Center.

A 23 – 26 hour training program is required. The overall goal of the facilitator training is to teach people how to help children, teens and adults to process their feelings of grief. The training is open to all persons. Upon completion, people interested in volunteering will be interviewed and evaluated as to their readiness for facilitating. Volunteers are requested to make a one year commitment to working with their assigned groups.
