Volunteering with Hunterdon Hospice

Volunteers are an essential part of the Hunterdon Hospice team. They are the cornerstone of hospice care and provide a lifeline to the community for patients and their families. Volunteers tell us that this is life-affirming work. They experience moments of humor, laughter, and friendship. Patients teach them about life and how to live with courage, dignity, and hope. Families tell us that the volunteers provide valuable support that they did not always realize they needed.

All volunteers are required to attend an extensive training program offered by Hunterdon Hospice, which is usually offered twice a year.  The training is designed to educate on hospice and the services we provide, as well as prepare volunteers to visit with patients and their families. Issues addressed include pain management, grief and bereavement, active listening, and the meaning of illness to the patient and their families.

We accept applications throughout the year.
