    Description

    MEN — STEP OUT OF THE NOISE.

    You’re told to grind. Provide. Push through.

    Always moving. Always carrying something.

    But somewhere in all that…

    it’s easy to forget: you’re not a machine — you’re human.

    Hospice asks something different.

    Not strength. Not speed. Not success.

    Presence.

    Just one hour a week.

    Sit with someone in their final days.

    Just be present in the moment.

    Listen to veterans talk about shaking hands with a president,

    jumping out of airplanes…

    and the quiet pain of losing their wives.

    Listen to the stories — some heavy, some hilarious.

    Share a quiet moment. A laugh. Maybe even a tear.

    No fixing. No pressure. No pretending.

    If you have a teenage son, bring him with you.

    Show him the strength in being present — the compassionate side of a man.

    At Providence Hospice, we know you’re busy.

    That’s why you’ll have a Volunteer Coordinator to guide you every step —

    from answering your questions to helping with the application process.

    You’ll shadow experienced volunteers before going out on your own,

    and you’ll have the full support of our hospice team —

    social workers, chaplains, and nurses — beside you along the way.

    You won’t get rich.

    You won’t get abs.

    But you will walk away changed.

    Grounded. Clear. Real.

    All that’s required:

    👉 SHOW UP. Answer the call.

    What to Expect – Getting Started as a Volunteer ☀️

    We’re so glad you’re here—this is where it all begins.

    To start, please come prepared with:

    ✔ 2 references (personal or professional)

    ✔ Driver’s license

    ✔ Current auto insurance (if you plan to drive)

    ✔ Social Security card (for the Kansas state background check)

    As required by the state of Kansas, you’ll complete:

    ✔ Background check

    ✔ Drug test

    ✔ 2-step TB test

    Once that’s done, you’ll schedule onboarding with HR—and then the fun part begins.

    You’ll connect with our full-time Volunteer Coordinator who will guide you every step of the way. From here on out, things get flexible, supportive, and built around YOU.

    ✨ Training that fits your schedule

    ✨ Shadowing with experienced, welcoming volunteers

    ✨ Visit times that work with your life—not against it

    No rigid hours. No pressure. Just meaningful moments.

    Before you know it, you’ll be:

    ✔ Visiting patients

    ✔ Sharing stories and laughter

    ✔ Making a real difference—just by being present

    And here’s the beautiful part—this doesn’t feel like “another obligation.”

    It becomes something you look forward to.

    A steady, grounding piece of your week that adds purpose, connection, and a little more light to your life.
