    Compassionate Hospice Companion Volunteer - Flexible Hours

    Are you a good listener? Do you believe that presence can be powerful, even in silence?

    We’re looking for compassionate volunteers to join our team Takara as Hospice Social Companions. In this role, you’ll provide comfort and companionship to individuals at the end of life. Whether you're sharing a quiet moment, listening to a life story, or simply sitting nearby, your presence can bring deep comfort.

    What You’ll Do:

    • Visit hospice patients in their homes, facilities, or care settings
    • Offer companionship through conversation, reading, music, or simply being present
    • Respect and support patients who may prefer quiet or minimal interaction
    • Follow the patient’s lead-sometimes silence speaks volumes

    What We’re Looking For:

    • A calm, caring presence
    • Comfort with both quiet and conversation
    • Good boundaries and an open heart
    • Willingness to complete basic hospice training (we’ll provide it!)

    Schedule:

    We offer flexible hours-volunteer when it works for you. Even just one hour a week can make a big difference.

    Why Volunteer With Us?

    You’ll be offering dignity, comfort, and peace during one of life’s most important journeys. Whether you're there to talk or just sit quietly, your presence matters.

    Requirements:

    • 18+ years old
    • Background check and training (provided)
    • Reliable transportation
    • A desire to bring comfort to others
