Bereavement volunteers provide outreach support to family members who have lost a loved one on hospice. This support will be in the form of compassionate listening during phone calls to bereaved individuals. No experience is required and training will be provided. If you are caring and have the ability to listen, then bereavement volunteer might be the perfect volunteer opportunity for you.
