    What You'll Do:

    • Offer companionship, conversation, or simply a quiet presence
    • Help build a stronger, more connected community

    Who It's Great For:

    • College students (especially premed or healthcare-track)
    • Seniors and retirees looking to give back
    • Anyone who values human connection and wants to support those in need

    Please note: All volunteers must complete an extensive on-boarding and training process (15 hours of training).

    Why Volunteer With Us?

    ✅ Make a lasting impact

    ✅ Gain experience in hospice and palliative care

    ✅ Build community connections

    ✅ Be part of a supportive volunteer network

    We welcome Volunteers of all backgrounds, and bilingual Volunteers are especially encouraged to get involved.

    If you’re ready to be a source of comfort and connection, we’d love to hear from you.
