Peter's Place - A Center for Grieving Children and Families

Volunteering at Peter's Place

With only a small paid staff, Peter's Place depends on the commitment of volunteers. Our volunteers come to us for many reasons. Many have experienced a death themselves and want to share their understanding of the healing process.

Some other reasons include:
- Being part of a caring community
- Making a difference in the life of a child in a permanent and meaningful way
- Contributing to a unique program in our community
- Gaining skills and experience working with children and families
- Learning about oneself and finding ways to make meaning of loss-and treasure life!
