Our programs are led by trained volunteer facilitators and students who have experiential knowledge in grief and bereavement. Our programs are made possible through the passion, dedication, and skills of our volunteers.

Volunteer Stories
Group Facilitation: We are currently recruiting volunteers for in-person group facilitation. We are also recruiting volunteers who have a Child Loss to facilitate groups and one-on-one sessions.
​Volunteer Grief Support Group Facilitators work alongside a co-facilitator to lead peer support groups for people experiencing grief and loss. They guide meaningful conversations and encourage connection through shared experiences. Facilitators help maintain a safe, inclusive and confidential environment where participants feel heard, respected and supported as they navigate their grief.
​
One-to-One Peer Supporters provide compassionate, non-clinical support to individuals navigating grief and loss. Volunteers are matched with a participant and connect by phone for 8–14 weekly, 30-minute conversations. Through active listening and shared understanding, they provide a safe, confidential space where participants can speak openly, feel supported and connect with someone who understands the experience of grief and loss.
Volunteer Bingo Assistants represent the Centre for Grief & Healing at Rama Mississauga Gaming Centre, welcoming patrons, answering questions and helping keep the space tidy.
