    Description

    DOUGLASVILLE - We need you! Become a hospice volunteer with 1 hour per week.

    With one hour a week you could change a life...

    Agape Hospice care is looking for volunteers to help out by visiting a patient 1 time per week for 1 hour visits or Administrative office help in Athens. We also offer interships for some college degree's.

    How do I get started?

    1. fill out an application
    2. Sign a sheet to consent to a background check. (we pay for that)
    3. Get a TB test = we do them for free at our office. M-F 10-4
    4. Take 9 on line training courses from Continua
    5. Georgia mandated fingerprinting. We cover the cost
    6. Meet for an orientation
    7. meet your patient or come to the office to help.

    This opprotunity is wonderful for college students, retired men or women, veterans, anyone with a big heart looking to give back. No medical background needed. We train. No hands on care, you would just sit with a patient and talk, read, play music.
