OUR HOUSE Volunteer Group Leader Testimonials

"
I came
across OUR HOUSE from a friend who attended group there and couldn't credit it enough in helping her move through her grief. I was looking for a volunteer opportunity which would require more than same day service and she suggested I check it out. Not having a lot of grief in my personal life, I wasn't sure if it was going to be the right fit. However, when I met with the staff and saw the impact they have on the community I knew it was where I wanted to devote my time. Volunteering at OUR HOUSE has changed my life. Knowing I've helped children move through what might be the most difficult thing they've had to or will go through, is truly rewarding. Watching their progression and growth leaves me speechless. As a volunteer OUR HOUSE makes sure to give you the tools and resources you need, which is really helpful given how heavy the subject matter can be."

I am a better person and able to deal with my grief in both my personal and professional life. I'm so grateful for OUR HOUSE.

Q & A with OUR HOUSE Founder:
Jo-Ann Lautman
|
October marks 24 years since OUR HOUSE first opened its doors to those grieving in Los Angeles. Jo-Ann Lautman, founder of OUR HOUSE Grief Support Center, never imagined the agency would grow to become what it has with three centers, dozens of school-based groups for students throughout the city, and free groups for Spanish speakers. We sat with Jo-Ann to discuss how she sees OUR HOUSE growing in the near and distant future. Click here to read more.
