Volunteer Opportunities
Volunteering
Provided by Burnaby Hospice Society
Provides volunteer opportunities to support clients to enhance the quality of life for those facing a life-threatening illness or grieving the loss of a loved one.
Volunteers provide direct care and support to palliative patients and their families who are facing advanced illness or bereavement. They offer respite for caregivers, visit with clients and families, run errands, write letters, and support those who are grieving.
Since hospice palliative care volunteers may provide care in clients’ homes, interested individuals must submit an application and go through an interview process. In addition, all hospice palliative care volunteers must complete an introductory 30-hour training program and have a criminal check approved.
Volunteer opportunities include:
- Palliative volunteer
- Bereavement volunteer
- Thrift store volunteer
- Special event volunteer
- Fundraising, marketing, and communications volunteer
- Board of directors volunteer
