Volunteer
Empty Arms and our team of dedicated volunteers play a vital part in providing support to anyone in Saskatoon and area who has been affected by pregnancy and/or infant loss.
Connecting with another person who has lived through a similar life-changing event can be a vital link for someone struggling with their own situation. A supportive peer can model hope, encourage healing, and help others integrate their new life circumstances. Peer support is based on key principles of respect, connection, mutual agreement, and empathy.
Peer support refers to support from a person who has acquired knowledge based their own experience, and draws from that experience when interacting with others in a supportive setting.

Volunteer Photographer
Baby loss photography provides an invaluable keepsake, a visual narrative of a child's brief and beautiful existence. Our talented photographers work alongside a bereavement companion to provide families with cherished memories captured in stunning photos.
1-on-1 Peer Support Volunteer
Volunteers are connected one-on-one with a bereaved parent or grandparent requesting support. When possible, matches are made between people who have similar loss experiences, backgrounds, and/or cultural identities.
Regardless of the time spent together, this type of support can be extremely helpful for families, and very rewarding for volunteers.
