As the world leader in volunteerism we feel a responsibility to unite our broader community, and to use this moment to become stronger.
See below to participate in our Impact Sector survey, access our COVID-19 Resource Hub, and explore our growing directory of COVID-19-specific and virtual volunteering opportunities.
Volunteers work in conjunction with other members of the hospice team. They are under the supervision of the Volunteer Coordinator who provides support and resources to equip the volunteer. The volunteer’s most important role is that of a loving, supportive presence. Volunteers become an essential part of the patients/families’ emotional, social, and physical well-being during the last stages of life.
