"After volunteering at SandCastles for 9 years, one of the best things is watching children cope, change and continue living life. When children come together at group, they have a safe environment to share and remember their special person. I love volunteering and knowing that I make a positive impact in children's lives….I love volunteering for SandCastles! --Melissa, Volunteer, Southfield site and camp

SandCastles is looking for caring individuals who are interested in helping grieving children and teens. Many opportunities are available at program, camp and in the office. A SandCastles Orientation will provide you with all the details and requirements of the roles. Join us by calling 313-874-6881 to talk with a Program Coordinator.

For those interested in working with the children, our training will prepare you with the skills needed to facilitate the grief groups. The Facilitator Training is a five session course, with additional mentorship. No experience or degree is required, simply a kind and willing heart. Training covers child development, grief and loss education, group facilitation techniques and personal awareness plus much more. It is required for both program and camp facilitators. Trainings are run year round at various locations. Please call for details on the upcoming trainings.
