Every volunteer brings a unique combination of interests, experience and talents to the Hospice program. Hospice volunteering can be scheduled in your free time. Whatever your talents, interests and skills, Hospice has a need you can fill. The Hospice volunteer begins with a volunteer training program that provides background information to help volunteers understand the needs of patients and families. Training sessions are also designed to help volunteers process their own feelings and attitudes toward death and loss.
Training includes seven weekly sessions.
When I first decided to become a volunteer for Hospice, I thought about what I could do and give. Never did I imagine the feelings and giving I would receive. They provide wonderful service. I just can't believe it. But in return you get to know another human being, and that enriches your own life.
