Volunteer
Volunteers play a vital role in the delivery of programs and services at the Hospice Society.
There are many opportunities to volunteer with the Hospice Society and they are divided into two categories: Direct volunteers work directly with people accessing our services and must complete our in-depth training. Indirect volunteers complete assignments and tasks that support the society as a whole. Training for these positions is done on-the-job. Pick the volunteer activity that is right for you!
