Bereavement Volunteers are called and trained to provide outreach to caregivers and family members who have recently experienced the loss of their loved one through death. Outreach involves making phone calls and/or supportive visits to those in grief, whom our hospice follows for at least thirteen months after their loss has occurred. Working closely with the Bereavement Coordinator, volunteers can also assist with a variety of other tasks and projects, including assembly of bereavement mailings and designing and facilitating major events, such as our annual Grief Camp & Celebration of Life Ceremony, and participating in community-based programs, such as grief & loss support groups and workshops.
These opportunities are available throughout Montgomery & Prince Georges' Counties.
A Background Check, 2 References, Tuberculosis Testing (TB) and Opportunity-specific training are required for this role and are provided by our hospice agency. We can accommodate your schedule!
