ACCEPTING VOLUNTEERS - MASKS REQUIRED (last updated 9/10/20). The Sharing Place offers grief support for children, teens and their parent(s) or caregiver(s) following the death of a loved one. Trained support group volunteers assist a grief specialist in groups for family members as they adjust to life without their loved one.
1. Twice a year, January and August, they offer training for individuals 19 and older who would like to volunteer in a support group. Training is 9 hours. Groups meet twice a month for 3 hours each time. We ask for a 10 month commitment. All volunteers who work within a group must complete our training.
2. Students who want to be a house volunteer do not have a minimum age requirement.
3. We also offer individuals volunteer opportunities to learn about all the needs of keeping a non profit operating. Individuals may schedule times to work at our site in a variety of ways - office work, housekeeping, preparation for groups, grounds upkeep, assist with fundraising, sort and organize donations, etc. These volunteers are critical to our organization as they help keep our costs down, and equally important, they learn about overall operations of a non-profit.
Within one day of volunteering there, it was like I was already part of their family. I can only imagine what it feels like to actually attend one of their counseling sessions, because they do such a great job taking care of their volunteers. - Katie Houser, Salt Lake City, Utah
We also have other types of volunteer and service activities. Please call Stephanie for more information.
