Some of the opportunities available for hospice volunteers include:

• Support for patients
  This can include visiting, reading, taking walks, writing letters, interpreting for those who do not speak English as well as bringing in music.
• Respite and support for family members
  Volunteers can assist with shopping or allow family caregivers the opportunity to take care of necessary errands, exercise, or simply have some time alone.
• Bereavement support programs
  Hospice volunteers can work closely with the hospice’s bereavement staff. Duties may include assisting a support group facilitator, serving refreshments, or helping with mailings to families.
• Fundraising and administrative work
  A volunteer with clerical skills can serve a hospice by helping in the office with administrative duties. Fundraising responsibilities can range from preparing mailings or thank-you letters to organizing fundraising events and contacting potential donors.
