    Description

    Become A Music Companion For Hospice Patients in SD County!

    Are you passionate about music and want to make a meaningful difference in the lives of others? We are seeking compassionate music companion volunteers to bring comfort, joy, and emotional support to our hospice patients. As a music companion volunteer, you will have the opportunity to share your musical talents with individuals and their families during a challenging time, creating a peaceful and healing atmosphere. Whether you play an instrument, sing, or simply love to bring people together through music, your presence can make a profound impact!

    Responsibilities:

    • Perform live music or offer recorded music to hospice patients.
    • Provide emotional support through music during end-of-life care.
    • Work with hospice staff to tailor music sessions to patient preferences.
    • Bring comfort and joy to both patients and their families.

    Qualifications:

    • A love for music and a compassionate heart.
    • No formal music education required-just a desire to share your talents.
    • Ability to work with diverse patient needs and emotional situations.
    • Reliable, respectful, and sensitive to the needs of others.

    We are seeking hospice volunteers all over San Diego County for a variety of opportunities!

    As a Music Companion Volunteer, you will join a team of volunteers and clinical professionals focused on holistically supporting patients and their families.

    Music Companion volunteers can expect:

    • Interactions with hospice patients who have a variety of life stories and experiences.
    • To make home-based patient visits - wherever the patients call home (private residences and long term care facilities)
    • Opportunities to practice empathetic language and compassionate listening
    • A fascinating education about end-of-life issues and goals
    • To provide practical and emotional support to families and hospice patients
    • To gain new friendships and connections
    • To develop knowledge and understanding that improves their own relationships and lives
