Advanced Hospice Volunteer Certification

Advanced Hospice Volunteer Certification is a free service-learning program which provides an introduction to hospice care through education, training and hands-on experience provided by the Volunteer Coordinator through Elara Caring Hospice in our Newburyport, MA office.

This is a win-win-win opportunity:

You will learn about end-of-life care through our comprehensive training program and real life experience as a volunteer to hospice patients at home and in facilities. You will be well supported by the Volunteer Coordinator throughout this program.

Our hospice patients/families/program will benefit from your companionship, kindness and time.

The AHVCertification is a great addition to your resume and is valued by educational institutions and employers. More importantly, your experience and the difference YOU make will stay with you for a very long time.

Requirements:

You must be at least 18 years old

Complete new volunteer paperwork, orientation and training

Provide 40 hours of service learning from at least 2 of our volunteer categories

Submit to required background checks. Submit to a 2-step tuberculosis test (required for those choosing direct patient contact). COVID-19 restrictions upheld per CDC Guidelines and facility requirements.
