Do you have a heart for service and a desire to honor those who’ve worn the uniform?

At Agave Hospice, we are seeking veterans or military-connected individuals to join our Veteran-to-Veteran Volunteer Program. Many of our patients are veterans themselves-and there's something uniquely comforting about sharing time with someone who understands the military experience.

What You’ll Do:
  • Provide companionship and conversation to veteran patients

  • Listen to life stories, reminisce, and share mutual respect

  • Assist with pinning ceremonies to recognize and thank fellow veterans

  • Help create legacy projects or write letters with/for patients

  • Offer presence and dignity near the end of life

Why Veterans?

Veterans often find it easier to open up to other veterans. You get it. Whether you served in peacetime or combat, your presence can offer connection, healing, and deep meaning to a fellow service member’s final chapter.

Time Commitment:

Flexible - we’ll work with your schedule. Training provided. No medical experience required.

Training:

We provide training on everything there is to know about being a hospice volunteer, from what to say, things to expect and how to serve with your unique gifts and talents. We set you up for success!
