    Description

    Do you have a gift for music and a heart for compassionate care? We are seeking music volunteers to support our hospice patients and their families through the healing power of music.

    Hospice music volunteers provide comfort, emotional support, and moments of peace by sharing live or recorded music at the bedside or in small group settings. Music can reduce anxiety, ease symptoms, evoke meaningful memories, and bring joy during a very special time in a patient’s life.

    Volunteer activities may include:

    • Playing an instrument or singing for patients
    • Providing calming background music during visits
    • Offering music as a form of emotional and spiritual support
    • Adapting music to individual patient preferences and abilities

    Who we’re looking for:

    • Individuals with musical ability (instrumental or vocal)
    • Compassionate, reliable, and respectful of patient needs
    • Comfortable in healthcare or end-of-life settings (training provided)
    • No professional certification required—just a willingness to share your talent

    Why volunteer with hospice?

    • Make a meaningful difference in someone’s final journey
    • Use your musical gifts to bring comfort and connection
    • Receive hospice-specific training and ongoing support
    • Experience the fulfillment of truly person-centered care

    If you are interested in sharing your music in a deeply meaningful way, we would love to hear from you.
