    Social Work Students: Gain Real Experience That Matters

    Are you studying Social Work and looking for meaningful, patient-centered experience that will help you stand out in your field placements and future career?

    Providence Home Health & Hospice is seeking compassionate Social Work student volunteers to spend time with hospice patients and families who need emotional support and companionship.

    Hospice volunteering allows you to witness the human side of care. Volunteers sit with patients, listen to life stories, offer conversation, read, play music, or simply provide a calming presence during an important stage of life. This experience helps build empathy, communication skills, and understanding of family dynamics during end-of-life care.

    ✔ Patient and family interaction experience

    ✔ Exposure to hospice interdisciplinary care

    ✔ Flexible schedule around classes

    ✔ Choose the patients you visit

    ✔ Professional reference letters available for committed volunteers

    Just 10 hours a month can make a powerful difference for patients while giving you valuable real-world experience.
