Are you interested in becoming a volunteer?
You may volunteer in many ways.
Visiting Volunteers are vital to our organizations but so are volunteers that perform other activities to support Hospice. Sitting at a client’s bedside is not for everyone. There are many other ways to help. Other potential volunteer roles: photography, videography, graphic design, Massage Therapist RMT, music performers or therapist, reflexologist, Reiki. We are always looking for new and creative ideas for volunteering if you have a special skill or idea not listed please let us know, we are always open to new suggestions.
Volunteers are trained in the philosophy of hospice and the full range of client care activities and get ongoing support, education and training and are evaluated as part of the training program. Volunteers are assigned to clients and supervised by the Director of Client Services and Volunteer Coordinator. Dundas County Hospice provides full liability coverage insurance for its volunteers. Individual volunteer records and information acquired during screening are considered confidential and for the use of hospice management only.

Volunteer training provided!
All volunteers are provided training to varying degrees. Volunteers that work directly with clients must complete a minimum 30 hour hospice volunteer training program and pass police background checks before being matched with a client. We are currently seeking volunteers for visiting, there is a need for more volunteers to fill this role, especially in the South Dundas area.
