Facilitator Training

Lost & Found is holding Facilitator Training on September 12 & 13. Perhaps you have considered volunteering as a facilitator before, or maybe you aren't exactly sure what a facilitator does-either way, this post is for you!

Groups at Lost & Found are ran by volunteers who have undergone training at Lost & Found. Facilitator training is a Friday evening (5-8:30) and a Saturday (8:30-3) where volunteers learn the history of Lost & Found, hear each other's stories of loss, and are trained in reflective listening and other skills that are important when working with grieving families. When a volunteer completes training (and observes a couple of groups), we call them a facilitator.

Facilitators really have an awesome job because they get to work with our wonderful families, have the privilege of hearing their stories, and help them work through their grief. If you would like to be a part of this rewarding experience then contact Nannette at the Lost & Found office at 417.865.9998 or by email at nannette@lostandfoundozarks.com. We would love to have you!
