Come and be a part of our caring and compassionate team. Hospice provides physical, emotional and spiritual support for terminally ill patients and their families through friendly visits in homes, skilled nursing facilities and assisted living facilities-wherever the patient calls "home." Volunteers provide support by: providing companionship and emotional support to patients; providing respite for the caregiver(s); running errands; doing yard work; and providing other needed support for patients and their families. There is as a great need for volunteers in all areas of Orange County! Veterans, men and bilingual individuals are strongly encouraged to apply! PLEASE NOTE: All volunteers are required to go through mandatory training class(es) with additional training required for some positions. For this reason, becoming a hospice volunteer is typically not appropriate for court related community service hours or other short-term requests. Ideally, our volunteers commit to at least one year with us. A NOTE FOR
TEEN APPLICANTS: Our minimum age to volunteer is 14, with limited opportunities available for our teen volunteers (14-17). Teen volunteers can work in the Cornerstone Hospice office(s) and/or help at Cornerstone Hospice community events. Direct patient care opportunities are also available when with a trained adult volunteer and a commitment of 100 patient care hours or more within your first year. Teens are expected to provide their own transportation.
Trainings offered monthly -- all materials provided. Contact us for the next training class!

Mission Statement
Cornerstone Hospice's mission is simple: Delivering extraordinary care to every person we touch in every community we serve. Volunteer opportunites are available throughout the seven Central Florida counties we serve: Hardee, Highlands, Lake, Orange, Osceola, Polk and Sumter, and now in Cobb County, Georgia. If you live in a neighboring county, you can still volunteer. However, all of your volunteer activities will take place in one of our seven counties, typically the one closest to you. PLEASE NOTE: Even if you are interested in several different volunteer roles within our organization, you only need to click on one opportunity during this process. You will have a chance to discuss ALL of your areas of interest during your volunteer training. Thanks!
Description
Cornerstone Hospice volunteers are a vital part of our entire organization, and play an active role in helping to provide the many special comfort and support services that distinguish Cornerstone Hospice care.
Our volunteers are special, but not out of the ordinary. They are regular people just like you. They use common sense and understanding. They do not need a medical background. They listen. They care. Volunteers help make a patient's life more fulfilling and satisfying by giving their time, understanding, and support and asking nothing in return. They also provide support to caregivers who are often with the patient 24/7 and may need a much needed break. If direct care is not for you, you can assist with administrative tasks at our office locations, and help out with events and community outreach. Any Cornerstone Hospice volunteer will tell you that they feel they receive more from their experience than they give.
PLEASE NOTE: All volunteers are required to go through a training class with additional training required for some positions. For this reason, becoming a Cornerstone Hospice volunteer is typically not appropriate for court related community service hours or other short-term requests. Ideally, our volunteers commit to at least one year with us.
