You don't need any medical skills, you don't even need to know what to say. No experience is necessary and all training will be provided. Volunteer your time and talent as a companion for a patient, as an end of life vigil support, office assistant, veteran companion and more. Our volunteers do a variety of tasks and there is something for everyone! There are even helpful projects you can do from the comfort of your own home. Volunteer on your own, with a friend, or with your family for an amazing and life changing experience.

Volunteers can work in all phases of hospice, providing clerical and administrative assistance as well as direct patient and family care.
