The hospice movement was founded by a dedicated group of volunteers committed to caring for patients at the end of life and supporting their families and friends. Volunteers play an essential role by providing compassionate care to patients and their loved ones, as well as office support to the Reliance Hospice team. We are currently recruiting for a volunteer to help with visits in Desert Hot Springs. Volunteers are ready and available to offer companionship to patients, relief or respite time to caregivers, help with errands, or be a vigil presence for dying patients. In addition, Volunteers may be available to engage patients in art and music therapy. We also have opportunities as bereavement companions and counselors. We have two rolling internships as well; a Social Media and Marketing Intern, and an Administrative/Quality Intern. Due to Covid-19, many of our opportunities can be done remotely. Here’s what to expect when applying to volunteer with us: * Volunteer application * In-person interview * Training (initial and ongoing) * Supervision by the Volunteer Coordinator * Annual and ongoing appreciation and recognition plus an opportunity to grow as a person. We welcome interns and students who need volunteer hours, but we are unable to accommodate court-ordered volunteers.

Do you have a talent to share? Aromatherapy, Arts and Crafts, Pet Therapy, playing music, Reiki, Scrapbooking? A contagious passion for just about anything? Would you like an appreciative audience? Want an easy way to make a big impact in someone's life? Join our team of upbeat, big-hearted people who are dedicated to bringing peace to those with terminal illnesses. Now that Covid19 is part of our lives, we are reaching out to our patients and families from a distance as well as one-on-one under safe circumstances. Distance volunteering options will continue to be available to our volunteers, even if Covid19 is no longer a concern. Our volunteers are welcomed as respected members of the care team, whether they have a desire to help from a distance, or (when we are no longer in "pandemic mode") in the office, walk a patient's dog, garden, help patients write letters, sing/read to them, or just offer a friendly ear. Whether they work "up close and personal", or prefer to stay behind the scenes, we are happy to work around our volunteers' schedules. Currently, training is done via Zoom. Training is informative, easy, and fun. It is designed to give volunteers the tools to be confident and comfortable working with our patients. Having the gift of foresight that the end of their life is near, many people can finally make sense of their life story. Peace can be made with people and circumstances that have had a profound impact on individuals. Many who are in the process of dying have a unique perspective on what it means to be alive. We want to help them find meaning in every moment that they still have. We take our mission seriously, but we also have fun while partnering with our patients on their journey. As your volunteer coordinator, I look forward to helping you add a meaningful, rewarding facet to your life!
