Pregnancy and Infant Loss Network

Loss-Specific Online Group Support Volunteer

This peer support volunteer role is intended for individuals who have personally experienced a pregnancy or infant loss.

Volunteers in this role co-facilitate virtual peer support groups alongside another trained volunteer, offering compassionate space for parents who have experienced similar types of pregnancy or infant loss.

Each group session is 1 hour in length, and volunteers are generally expected to support one group per month. Groups are scheduled Monday to Thursday from 8:00–9:00 p.m. and are hosted on PAIL Network’s licensed and encrypted Zoom accounts, which volunteers access to ensure privacy and security.

Key responsibilities include:

• Co-facilitate or support a virtual group with another trained volunteer and/or staff member
• Help foster a safe, respectful, and inclusive space for participants to share
• Follow a gentle structure for opening, discussion, and closing
• Offering support grounded in shared lived experience
