Hunterdon Hospice Volunteer Training

Event Information

Hunterdon Hospice will offer its Volunteer Training Program on three consecutive Mondays: March 24, 31, and April 7, from 10 am - 2 pm. A second option may be offered in the evenings on the same dates, pending enrollment,  from 5 pm - 9 pm. 

Hunterdon Hospice volunteers are needed for patient and family support, office support, fundraising, and community awareness events. Additionally, we welcome those with skills in cosmetology, massage, Reiki, music, and pet therapy to help support the complimentary services we provide.

This multi-week course is designed to educate and train participants to fulfill various roles. Training consists of 12 hours in person, and 4 hours of independent study. Content includes the history of Hospice in America, the history of Hunterdon Hospice in our community, the services provided by Hunterdon Hospice, and the skills needed to volunteer. Volunteers must have medical clearance from their physician, a criminal background check, and an annual influenza vaccine (or medical exemption from a physician). The background check and annual vaccine are provided at no cost to the volunteer. 

Hunterdon Hospice is a Medicare-certified, non-profit organization providing hospice care to individuals in Hunterdon, Mercer, Somerset, and Warren counties.
