Veteran’s Last Patrol connects veteran volunteers to veterans in hospice. VLP is a 501 c(3) nonprofit. We cooperate with medical providers of hospice care to connect volunteers to the patients so that their last patrol isn’t alone. It’s hard to underestimate the importance of friendship during end-of-life care. Last Patrol brings new friendships when friendship matters most.

Our ideal volunteers are folks who are genuinely interested in serving veterans within their community. This is an intimate and unique position as the volunteer is placed within a local hospice or care facility and trained with regards to HIPAA, confidentiality, and COVID appropriate considerations.

This is generally a "face-to-face" position. Volunteers will support veterans through the final stages of their life, for that reason it is important to understand that these moments can be emotionally difficult, but are ultimately very rewarding to the volunteer and veteran.

Once on board, volunteers decide how much time they can give. A typical volunteer might volunteer 4-6 hours a month.

This position is at the applicant's location in a partnership with local hospice facilities.

Please apply if you are:

• Passionate about working with veterans.
• Compassionate and understanding about the final stages of life
• Motivated by hearing stories and providing emotional support.
• Knowledgeable about the diverse and 'different’ culture of military veterans.
• Comfortable working in compliance with COVID restrictions during face-to-face visits.

We are looking forward to expanding veterans in your community through building relationships with local hospice and care facilities. Join our team and help us expand today!
