    Description

    We are seeking compassionate, dependable volunteers to provide emotional support to family caregivers caring for loved ones on hospice. Caregivers often experience stress, isolation, and exhaustion—and a simple, supportive connection can make a meaningful difference.

    As a Caregiver Support Volunteer, you will offer regular check-ins, a listening ear, and helpful resources to remind caregivers they are not alone.

    What You’ll Do

    • Provide friendly check-ins (phone, text, or email) to assigned caregivers
    • Offer emotional support through active listening (non-clinical)
    • Share pre-approved resources related to caregiving, stress, and grief
    • Gently encourage self-care and rest
    • Build a consistent, supportive connection over time

    Time Commitment

    • Approximately 2–4 hours per week
    • Flexible scheduling
    • Ongoing role with assigned caregivers for continuity

    Ideal Volunteer

    • Compassionate, patient, and a good listener
    • Comfortable with emotional conversations
    • Able to maintain boundaries (non-clinical role)
    • Reliable and consistent with communication
    • Comfortable utilizing phone, text, or email

    Why This Role Matters

    Caregivers give so much of themselves—often without pause or recognition. Your presence can bring comfort, reassurance, and a sense of connection during one of life’s most challenging times.
