COMMUNITY SUPPORT VOLUNTEERS NEEDED: We are recruiting volunteers for positions in our Community Support programs. Volunteers are critical part of our operations at Hospice Georgian Triangle. Their commitment and dedication make it possible for clients and families to receive support within their own homes.
You can help in several ways whether it be by providing caregiver relief, being a visiting companion for palliative individuals or by providing one-on-one grief and bereavement support. Our volunteers receive extensive training to provide them with the skills and confidence to properly support our community members.
When you volunteer with us, you’ll learn new skills, make life lasting memories and most importantly, you will be making a lasting impact on the clients and their families.
