Designed for Mission-Driven Organizations

Whether you're a hospice care provider, community counseling center, or nonprofit grief support organization, this template streamlines your volunteer recruitment process. It captures essential information about grief counseling certifications, relevant experience with loss, support group facilitation skills, and most importantly—a genuine commitment to ongoing training and emotional development.

Conditional logic ensures you gather the right depth of information from each applicant while maintaining a respectful, compassionate tone throughout.
