Griefbusters of Amador & Calaveras County Looking for Volunteers

Griefbusters of
Amador & Calaveras
Hospice of Amador & Calaveras has been awarded grant money from the Calaveras Community Foundation to extend the reach of the Griefbusters program into your child’s school. We are seeking compassionate adults/parents/grandparents willing to become trained volunteers and help provide a much needed service to children who have suffered the loss of a loved one in and around your child’s school. The need in Calaveras is significant with over 24 referrals last year alone!

What are Griefbusters?
Griefbusters are volunteers who meet with children on an as-needed basis one time a week to support the child through their grief process in a healthy and productive fashion. Volunteers are trained and supervised by Hospice of Amador & Calaveras.

When and where is the training?
The upcoming Griefbuster training will be held on April 6th and 7th, from 8:00am-4:00pm, at the Senior Center in San Andreas. For more information please call Tammy at Hospice of Amador & Calaveras at 223-5500 or visit the Hospice website at www.hospiceofamador.org.
