Our volunteers offer compassionate support to individuals and families during end-of-life and bereavement. Volunteer roles may include:

• Spending time with someone in the final stages of life
• Providing respite for family caregivers, giving them time to rest and recharge
• Offering a listening ear and a caring presence for conversations about dying
• Staying connected and communicating with your care team
• Sharing after-death information when requested
• Connecting families with helpful community resources
• Offering continued grief support after the loss of a loved one
• Assisting with administrative tasks, and special events
• Help with fundraising events 
• Serving on the Board of Directors
  

Our volunteers make a meaningful difference by offering presence, compassion, and care when it’s needed most.

If you are interested in volunteering for any of these rolls with the Hospice Society of North Kootenay Lake, please email hospice@kaslo.org for an application.

Volunteers who support palliative patients and families through end of life care and bereavement are required to attend a general hospice volunteer training and/or grief support training.  

Stay tuned for upcoming training this year, dates will be announced in the coming months.
