Divorce Recovery
Volunteer Opportunities
Sub heading
Divorce Recovery is a program that is managed and led by volunteers. Our group leaders are committed to serving adults and children who are going through the break-up of their family relationship. They are exceptionally committed women and men who have been willing to spend hundreds of hours in service to others.
Volunteering
Interested in volunteering? Attend our 6-week Group Leader Training designed to train potential leaders for Divorce Recovery groups. We welcome individuals seeking more information about issues of divorce, group facilitation, and personal growth to participate. There is no obligation to lead a Divorce Recovery group, however, we encouraged all participants who complete the training to volunteer to facilitate a Divorce Recovery Group at least once throughout the year.
Having completed the training, participants will:
- Understand the Divorce Recovery process: The Transition Journey.
- Have an understanding of leadership in Divorce Recovery Groups.
- Develop the skills to lead a Divorce Recovery Group for adults or children.
