    Description

    Creative Companions: Artists Needed to Help Hospice Patients Leave a Legacy

    Do you believe creativity can preserve what matters most?

    We’re seeking artists, writers, musicians, photographers, and other creative souls to collaborate with hospice patients on legacy art projects that honor their stories, values, and memories.

    These projects might include:

    • Illustrated or written memory journals
    • Audio or video storytelling
    • Collage, painting, or photography
    • Handmade gifts, keepsakes, or mementos
    • Collaborative music, songwriting, or creative writing

    No medical background required — just a compassionate heart and the ability to listen deeply. Volunteers receive orientation and support from our hospice team.

    This is a chance to bring comfort and meaning to someone’s final chapter, to help them create something lasting, and to remind families that love and creativity endure forever.

    Ideal for artists, art students, and creative professionals seeking purpose, service hours, or portfolio experience rooted in human connection.

    To apply:

    Please share a brief introduction, your creative medium, and why this opportunity speaks to you.
