Volunteering with Hospice of the Valley can even be a springboard to a career in healthcare and serving others.

  • Experience in a professional setting with a well-respected organization.

In addition, high school seniors with 50 hours of service as a Hospice of the Valley volunteer are eligible to apply for our Teen Scholarship Program, which awards college scholarships.

Teen Volunteer Testimonials
Nhi Van

"Hospice is a place where I feel like it's my second family. Knowing that I can help other people, especially at the end of their lives, is really amazing. It makes you smile from the Inside out."

Kara Smith

“When my initial visit was over with my patient, he made me promise I would come back. Sharing stories, reading and just being together with someone who deeply appreciates the time we spend with them makes being an HOV volunteer a unique experience. Even though I spend one hour a week with my patient, to him it is timeless.”
