Description:

Mission Brooke's Place provides support groups, therapy services, and community education to empower children, teens, young adults, and their families to thrive in the midst of grief. Brooke's Place supports grieving young people and their families in the belief that hope for tomorrow begins today. Brooke's Place is a community based not-for-profit organization which provides free grief support to young people ages 3-29yo and their parents/guardians. All individuals learn coping skills to help them manage their grief, lessen the pain of their sadness and help them reconcile the death of their loved ones. Being a Brooke's Place Buddy often includes more behind-the-scenes effort and less direct contact with families. Buddies help set the atmosphere for our program by providing assistance to participants throughout the evening. Duties include preparing rooms for evening activities, greeting families as they arrive, set up/clean up for dinner, serving pizza & drinks, assisting facilitators with obtaining supplies, and helping with clean-up after program night activities.
