  It's Flexible! We'll work with your schedule

  Parker Jewish Institute’s Comprehensive Community Hospice has been providing highly specialized care to terminally ill patients since 1997 and welcomes volunteers of all ages and backgrounds. Hospice volunteers are a special group of people that use their time and talents to enrich the quality of life for our patients and their families as the end of life approaches. Hospice volunteers enhance the quality of life and help reduce the burden for family caregivers by providing support, assistance, in patient’s homes, in nursing homes, and assisted living facilities. To be a volunteer, there is no special requirement other than a sincere desire to help people and the ability to listen. The most important thing you can do is be there for patients to reassure them they are not alone. It is not an easy undertaking, but it can enrich your life well as patients and families. Hospice volunteers can commit to as little or as much time as they wish. Some volunteers provide several hours of service each week while others commit to a few hours each month. Serving as valued members of the hospice team, for just a few hours of your time you can make a significant impact on the lives of patients and their loved ones. There are many opportunities to share your time and talents as a volunteer and support patients, their loved ones dealing with end of life. Opportunities include: Hospice Doulas Bereavement/Grief Patient Friendly Visits Legacy Projects Administrative Support Community Education Help Recruiting Other Volunteers Note: We ask that those who have recently lost a loved one wait a year before becoming a hospice volunteer. You are welcome to participate in our bereavement programs during this time. All hospice volunteers receive extensive training. Depending the type of volunteering, training is can range from 6-18 hours. All volunteers must complete our new volunteer orientation. Those volunteers who choose to work directly with hospice patients or their loved ones must complete additional hospice specialized training.

  Brooklyn, NY 11212
  Tue, April 18, 2023 - Thu, May 4, 2023

  Did you know Vitamin C is directly connected to higher IQ, being smarter along with improving your overall health? Seeds in the Middle empowers students, schools and communities in underserved, low-income, food-insecure neighborhoods to create their own healthy places to live and learn. As part of this, we also educate students that eating fresh and healthy and getting fit are directly connected to higher academic achievement and overall well-being. Most students we serve do not grow up in neighborhoods with affordable, nearby fresh food options. April 19 - May 3 - are when students take the high-stakes standardized tests in math and literacy that often define how good a school is performing. It IS VERY STRESSFUL for children, especially in our most underserved neighborhoods. So, let's give them a morale boost, show that people care and help them focus by giving EVERY test-taker an orange or fresh orange juice. We need an army of you as we have about 20 schools we'd like to serve on April 19, 20, May 2 and May 3. If you'd rather donate so we can buy oranges, just click on this link and your donation is matched cutt.ly/changethenarrative Do you drive? You can also pick up boxes of oranges from us and deliver to a school in Brownsville, Flatbush or Crown Heights or other neighborhood... either April 18 or May 1. What you will do: 1. Arrive at assigned school at 7am 2. Give out oranges or fresh OJ as students arrive and cheer them on 3. Clean up and leave by 9am Questions?
