VNA & Hospice Volunteer Opportunities
Volunteering is one of the greatest gifts you can give to yourself and to others.
Thank you for your interest in volunteering for the VNA & Hospice of Cooley Dickinson! We are honored that you would consider sharing your time and talents with us, and look forward to exploring how you could contribute to this vital, community-based organization.
Whether you are retired, working full- or part-time, a student, a stay-at-home parent, or just someone who wants to lend a hand, there many ways you can make a difference. Please click on the volunteer opportunities below to learn more, then give us a call to take the next step. Thanks again, and we look forward talking with you!
Make a difference in someone’s life while doing something deeply rewarding. Our hospice volunteers bring comfort and support to patients facing end of life. You can help in a number of ways including: Patient Companionship, Family/Caregiver Support, Complementary Therapy (massage, Reiki, music, pet therapy), Bereavement Support, and Administrative Assistance. No experience necessary, full training provided.
Volunteering in The Hospice Shop is a great way to have fun, meet new people, and play a key role in the shop’s daily operations. As a volunteer, you’ll get a first look at donations while working a regular shift behind the counter, on the floor, or helping sort and price donations. Revenues go directly help meet the needs of Hospice patients and families.
Journey Home is a bedside singing group that brings songs of peace, comfort and healing to our hospice patients and their families. If you have musical experience, can harmonize, rehearse twice per month and participate in patient bedside sings, we’d love to talk with you.
The Garden provides support to grieving young people and their families following the death of someone close, including parents, siblings, other family members or friends. Our volunteers work with our Director to assist with counseling and bi-annual support groups.
Thanks again for your interest in volunteering with VNA & Hospice of Cooley Dickinson. We look forward to talking with you!
