Perfect for UT Southwestern & College Students: Make Human Connection Matter

Looking for hands-on experience that actually means something?

Hospice volunteering offers a rare opportunity to support older adults at one of the most meaningful stages of life—through simple, human connection.

What You’ll Do

As a hospice volunteer, you’ll provide companionship and emotional support to elderly patients by:

• Visiting and talking with patients
• Listening to life stories and sharing conversation
• Reading, playing games, or sitting quietly together
• Offering comfort and presence to patients and families

No medical tasks—just being human.

Why This Is Ideal for Students

• ✔ Meaningful experience for healthcare, medical, nursing, social work, psychology, and pre-health tracks
• ✔ Builds empathy, communication skills, and emotional intelligence
• ✔ Flexible scheduling that works around classes
• ✔ Volunteer hours for resumes, grad school, and med school applications
• ✔ Eye-opening exposure to end-of-life care and geriatric populations

What We’re Looking For

• Compassionate, dependable college students
• Strong listeners who enjoy connecting with others
• No prior hospice or medical experience required
• Training and ongoing support provided

Why Hospice Volunteering Is Different

You won’t just “log hours.”

You’ll make someone feel seen, heard, and valued—sometimes becoming the highlight of their week.

“This experience changed how I see patients, aging, and myself.” – Former Student Volunteer
