HAND’s volunteer training is for parents, family and friends interested in supporting HAND by volunteering in various ways including:

  • facilitating meetings
  • offering peer support to parents with a recent loss
  • serving on our Board of Directors
  • doing outreach to local hospitals and healthcare providers
  • managing our website (using WordPress)
  • providing administrative support

The training is free and lunch will be provided.

The morning session (9:00-11:30) will be a general orientation for all new volunteers.
The afternoon session (12:00-3:00) will cover peer support and facilitating meetings.

New volunteers wanting to provide peer support, facilitate meetings, or make presentations should attend the whole training. Those interested only in non-direct support activities may just come to the morning session.
