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. Click here for more information on attending our Child Grief Facilitator Training workshop.

Fundraisers & Events

If you enjoy being a part of fundraising events, this may be just what you are looking for! Each year, we hold the Remembrance Journey Walk, the Comfort Food Classic (a gourmet chef competition), our 5K/10K Run & 1-mile Fun Run, and the Doolin Classic: A Golf Outing to Benefit Ted E. Bear Hollow. If you are interested in volunteering for any of these events or contributing items for silent auction, raffle prizes, or oral auctions, please call 502-2773.

Office Help

As a non-profit agency, we always appreciate people's willingness to come help with various tasks around the office. If you would prefer to help in that capacity, we have opportunities to assist with mailings and clerical tasks, sorting teddy bears, setting up for events and programs, and more.

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. If you are an undergraduate or graduate level student with an interest in working with children and families, consider developing this relationship with us. Call 502-2773 to inquire about availability.
