The volunteer experience at Good Grief is life changing. The children and families teach our facilitators a great deal about life, resiliency, hope, and the need for supporting each other. Many volunteers say they receive much more than they give. This meaningful experience not only impacts the children of Good Grief, but most volunteers attest to the ways in which this experience has drastically changed and improved their lives, as this work is both personally transformative and rewarding.

Good Grief's nationally respected programs provide free peer support to children, teens, young adults, and families after the death of a parent or sibling. Our programs equip grieving families with the support and tools they need to face their grief. We help families develop healthy coping skills, provide a caring environment to process feelings and fears, and create a sense of hopefulness during a very difficult and uncertain time.
