Grief Support Volunteers
Kara is looking for volunteers who would like to learn how to support
others through the grief process. Our next volunteer training
will be held in the fall of 2008.
Kara currently needs volunteers in the following areas:
- Counselors for individual adult clients
- Group facilitators to co-lead adult groups
- Group facilitators for children and teen groups
- Outreach facilitators and speakers for community education
- Outreach facilitators for on-site grief crisis intervention
- Spanish speaking volunteers
- Volunteers from the LBGT community
Informational Meetings will be held prior to training at the Kara
offices located at 457 Kingsley Avenue, Palo Alto. The meetings
include an overview of Kara's services and an informational video
of former Kara clients describing their counseling experiences.
Trainees must attend all six training sessions, held on weekday
evenings and Saturdays over the course of two weeks. Click below
for a detailed flyer with schedule and a Volunteer Application form.
Please fax (650-473-1828) or mail your completed application
form to Kara.
If you need more information, please contact
us or call (650) 321-5272.
Event and Office Volunteers
Kara also needs volunteers to help in the office (mailings, MS
Access database applications, website updating) and to help support
Kara's events. Please contact us
or call (650) 321-5272. These volunteer positions do not require
the training sessions that our grief support volunteers go through.
