08 Feb Become a hospice volunteer!
Our volunteers are an incredible group of people who provide comfort and practical help to their neighbors at end of life.
Beginning in March, Brattleboro Area Hospice will offer an in-person training for hospice volunteers. Our Spring Volunteer Training will be facilitated by Karen Boutelle and begin Monday, March 28 and run Monday evenings through May 16, from 5-8 PM at the Winston Prouty Center in Brattleboro.
Hospice volunteers support neighbors and their families who are living with life-threatening illnesses throughout Windham County. Help may range from errands and gardening to emotional and physical support. Training topics include Hospice philosophy, nuts and bolts of volunteering, ethical issues, personal attitudes toward death and dying, and grief issues, among others. Presenters include professionals from the community as well as Hospice staff and volunteers.
