Become a Trained Volunteer

Thank you for expressing interest in volunteering with Big Bend Hospice. Our volunteers play a vital role in the care of patients with life-limiting illnesses, whether they serve directly with patients and their families or volunteer in the office or at events. We rely on volunteers in a variety of roles based on your interests and our needs. Due to the nature of our work, volunteers are exposed to sensitive information and situations and this is why we invest time and resources into screening, an extensive orientation process, and offer ongoing training to all BBH Volunteers.

To become an eligible volunteer, you must meet the following requirements:

  • Be 18 years of age or older.
  • Have a valid driver’s license and auto insurance.
  • Not have lost a close loved one within the last 13 months.
  • Be willing to work with people without regard to race, gender, age, sexual orientation, religious creed, disability, or marital status.
  • Commit to volunteering for at least one year.
  • Be willing to take the required Level 2 background screen.
  • Be willing to take the required TB blood screening test.
