Sojourn Hospice is seeking compassionate volunteers to join our team!
If you have an open heart, compassionate presence, and desire to make a difference, we need you!
Our volunteers receive a warm welcome as a valuable part of our hospice caring team, in-depth training to provide them with the tools they need, and ongoing support.
Volunteers offer compassion, companionship, and support to our clients facing a life-limiting illness and their families. Volunteers visit our clients around the Bay area and provide a variety of services such as being a listening ear, reading a book aloud, sitting in companionable silence, playing a game, or offering a family caregiver a break by sitting with their loved one.
If you have a special skill that you would like to use, such as aromatherapy, musical instruments, speaking other languages, reiki, healing touch, etc. please let us know!
Volunteer schedules are flexible and based on your own availability. We do ask that volunteers give four hours per week. No experience is required. There are training classes that volunteers are required to attend.
We ask for a commitment of four hours per week, with a minimum of one year of service. Volunteers should be 18 years or older.
To find out more, contact our volunteer coordinator at mrasavanh@sojournhospice.com or 408-324-0700. We look forward to having you join us!

Description
Sojourn Hospice, a program of Healthy Living, Inc., is a hospice serving Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties. We are dedicated to supporting individuals and their families on the journey through the final stages of life. The physical, emotional, spiritual, and mental challenges specific to this experience can be overwhelming for the family and the person with a terminal illness. Sojourn Hospice volunteers receive specialized training in providing compassionate presence and practical support to the individual and the family. Simple human kindness is especially valued and appreciated in these difficult times.
