Hospice of Santa Barbara Seeks Compassionate and Dedicated Volunteers to Join “I Have a Friend”® Program
Adult volunteers needed to work with grieving children
Mentor volunteers are adults who experienced the death of a parent or sibling as a child and are trained and matched with children who have recently experienced a similar loss. Mentors help a child to heal, thrive and feel “normal” again.
Training for I Have a Friend will begin June 5th through July 10th for a total of six successive Wednesday evenings from 5:30-8:30 p.m.
Interested and qualified prospective mentors must have had a childhood experience of either parent or sibling loss, through death, and wish to mentor a child toward healing. Mentors utilize self on how to emotionally survive, thrive and be “normal again.”
