Volunteer with VITAS
Hospice volunteers are trained to meet the needs of patients and families. Their visits happen on a schedule that can adapt to a patient’s health, interests, and needs. Volunteers are unpaid, yet priceless.
VITAS welcomes volunteers from all backgrounds, cultures, and life experiences. Whether sharing a conversation, providing a comforting presence, or offering a special skill, volunteers make a meaningful difference.
For many people, volunteering is a way to give back while bringing moments of companionship and joy to others.
