Opportunities: Supporting Grieving Children and Their Families
Ted E. Bear Hollow needs your assistance as it continues to meet the ongoing needs of grieving children and their families!
KidsKamp
Volunteer on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon and work with children as they create special items to remember and honor their loved one who died. Activities include: memory boxes, comfort pillows, garden stones, face painting, memory bracelets and more! Visit the Events & Programs page for information on volunteering for KidsKamp.
Tinsel & Tears
Volunteer on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon to work with families as they come together for support and encouragement as the holidays approach. Activities include: blessing stockings, holiday ornaments, memory wreaths, face painting, cookie decorating and more! Visit the Events & Programs page for information on volunteering for Tinsel & Tears.
Support Groups
If you have an interest in helping facilitate grief support groups for children, teens or adults, this is a very rewarding experience! These special volunteers complete a 20-hour training so they develop the skills and tools to work with families in a support group setting. Visit the Events & Programs page to find out when the next Child Grief Facilitator Training will be held.

Internships & Practicum Experiences
Each semester Ted E. Bear Hollow interviews and selects an intern or practicum student to learn first-hand what goes into planning, implementing and evaluating our family support programs.
