​

As a community supported organization, Hospice Volunteers of Waterville Area exists because of the generosity, dedication, and compassion of our volunteers. Whether you are interested in volunteering in our direct hospice care services, bereavement programs and support groups, or working outside in our hospice garden, we would love to have you as a volunteer!

​

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

​

Hospice Care Volunteers provide direct support to our clients and their families, such as companionship visits, respite care, help with errands, life review and assistance with hobbies and crafts. Following a 24-hour training program, volunteers receive ongoing supervision and continuing education.  Our next training will be offered in spring 2026.

Our Bereavement Care Volunteers facilitate our grief support groups for adults as well as provide one-on-one peer support to clients. Our Hope's Place Volunteers facilitate our groups for grieving children. All bereavement volunteers are trained in group facilitation and issues around grief and loss.​
