Direct care volunteers work with children, teens, young adults and/or caregivers impacted by serious medical conditions or death. Direct roles include: support group facilitators, one-on-one volunteers and interns. Direct care volunteers must be at least 16 years old (except where otherwise indicated), complete all required paperwork, pass a background check, participate in an introductory interview, participate in all required training and post-training, and make a minimum commitment of 1 year.

For direct care volunteers, previous experience working with children, teens or families around grief, trauma, or through group facilitation is preferred, but not required. What is required is responsibility, compassion, adaptability, a joy for work with others, strong communication skills, and the ability to learn and implement our model.

Indirect volunteers and interns to support office administration, communications and events are also needed.
