Hospice Volunteer

Save to Favorites

We have some volunteer opportunities for students at Favoured Hospice, a smaller, tight-knit hospice company based out of Dayton! These would be great for healthcare degree-seeking students, those looking to get service hours, or anyone just looking to make a difference in the community and impact those navigating end of life. Most of our opportunities right now are for companionship visits which could be simply providing a listening ear for a patient, doing arts/crafts, assisting in light housekeeping, playing cards/board games with them, taking them outside to enjoy the weather, etc. These are non-patient care roles; more so just being a friend to individuals who are nearing end of life. Ideally we would like to have our volunteers out for an hour or two, one day a week, but we can be flexible with their schedule! We have multiple openings right now at a nursing facility in Minnetonka, where some of our patients reside. We also have some openings in our special events department, which could be making tie-blankets, writing cards, assembling/delivering goody bags, or hosting a fun event at a nursing facility! We love when our volunteers get to utilize their special talents as well, such as playing music or singing, pet therapy, photography, etc.
