The Empowering Caregivers Site is looking for hosts who would like to lead chats in all topical areas which apply to caregiving. We would like heartful, compassionate, and outgoing individuals who can devote at least two hours of their time each week to host. It is important that you have hands on caregiving experience as a family caregiver or knowledge and expertise in your topic of choice for hosting.
