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.

If you are drawn to take the training, we ask that before you submit an application, you consider whether or not you are ready to commit 2-4 hours a week to being a hospice volunteer.  When volunteers complete the training, they sign a job description that states they are agreeing to a 2-4 hour/week commitment.
