Job description
Some of the Most Beautiful Conversations Happen in Life’s Final Chapter
Every life is a book filled with stories, wisdom, and memories. As local seniors reach the end of their journey, what they need most isn't complex—it’s connection.
We are looking for hospice companion volunteers to bring warmth, dignity, and friendship to seniors in palliative care.
How You’ll Touch a Life:
Share quiet moments—read a chapter of a book, listen to music, or look at old photos.
Be an attentive listener for stories decades in the making.
Give family caregivers a brief, comforting break.
What You Bring: No healthcare experience required. All it takes is 1 to 2 hours a week, an open heart, and a gentle presence. We provide full training and support.
Clearances (Provided Free of Charge): Completion of a background check & reference checks, health screening & testing, and our hospice volunteer orientation & training.
Flexible Commitment That Fits Your Life
Time Commitment
Typically 1 to 2 hours per week (very flexible based on your schedule).
Location
Matched with patients living near your home, work, or school.
Schedule
Weekdays, evenings, or weekends—whenever works best for you.
If you feel called to share your presence with someone in their final chapter of life, we’d love to hear from you.
Together, we can ensure that no one faces this final journey alone.
