Step 1
Complete an online application. Once received and reviewed, a representative from the volunteer department will contact you to conduct a prescreening interview. We will discuss service opportunities and department requirements, and address any of your questions. If you and the coordinator both determine this is a suitable placement for you, you’ll be sent a registration link for our upcoming volunteer orientations.
Step 2
Participate in a New-Volunteer Orientation. This is a full day (usually held on Saturdays from 9:00 am – 4:00 pm) of training that includes Hospice 101 and your role as part of the Care Team.
Step 3
Complete a level 2 Background Screen and a TB blood test. Referrals and forms are provided during the orientation process.
Step 4
One-to-one training with your new Supervisor. Once orientation, background, and TB test is completed, you will be assigned to a Volunteer Coordinator who will provide additional training and direction on your role(s) and responsibilities.
