Pacific Center Peer Group Facilitator Application
Hi there!

Thank you so much for your interest in becoming a peer support group facilitator!  We appreciate you wanting to contribute to our community as we count on the time and energy our volunteers offer to Pacific Center.

To be clear, the Peer Group Facilitator role is a volunteer position and we have a dual relationship policy that prevents any of OUR current individual therapy clients from also being volunteers.

Pacific Center Peer Group Facilitator application process:

Step 1 - Attend a peer support group that fits your demographic, at least three times, informing the facilitators each time that you have an interest in becoming a facilitator

Step 2 - Complete our Peer Group Facilitator application

Step 3 - Participate in a 30 minute in-person or phone call interview with the Director of Community Programs. This will provide the opportunity to learn about the program, your interest, and answer any questions you may have.

Step 4 - We will notify you if your application is accepted, and inform you if there is an upcoming Facilitator Orientation & Training scheduled.  The 6-hour orientation is required and typically occurs on a Saturday.  The orientation may be split into two, 3-hour trainings.
