We have hospice volunteer roles with direct patient involvement as well as clerical/office tasks
Opportunities
Holisticare's volunteers are provided the preparation and training they need to comfortably and successfully complete their chosen assignments. Some volunteers receive additional training based on their selected area of service:
Bereavement Support
Opportunities exist to assist with support groups, make follow-up calls to families, and help with memorial services.
Pet Therapy
We are always looking for pet therapy volunteers. Pets make such a meaningful difference in the lives of our patients and we would welcome the chance to work with you to provide this service to our patients.
Palliative Pathways program
Our Palliative Pathway program works to provide assistance, companionship and other complementary services to patients who have a life expectancy of less than eighteen months.
Organization Support
In the administrative offices, volunteers provide much-needed support, including answering the phone, working on the computer, helping with mailings, photocopying and other tasks.
Patient & Family Care
Providing respite care and support for the patient and family is one of the most personal ways a volunteer can become involved with Holisticare. The volunteer serves as a friend, visiting the patient where he or she lives.
Student Program
Students are actively involved in many exciting projects, including life review, arts and crafts, and our memorial services. Additionally, we are always eager for semester-long internship opportunities for those students that are interested in committing to regular time with us.
