Wonderful Certified Pet Therapy Team: We need you! You and your furry friend have the power to help hospice patients "Make every moment matter" as hospice volunteers.
Hospice Volunteers are an important part of a multi-disciplinary care team with the goal of easing suffering and improving the quality of end of life.
We will provide free training and onboarding that will familiarize you with hospice and set you up for success. No experience with hospice required. We will support you throughout your volunteer experience and also provide monthly peer support groups and continuing education. The hours are flexible and can work around your schedule.
Our next volunteer training classes will be on ZOOM in the spring and again in the fall of 2024.
There may be follow-up training required.

We look forward to hearing from you!!!
