Teen Volunteer Opportunities
Ordinary teens with extraordinary compassion and concern for others.
Teen volunteers are a vital part of the Hospice of the Western Reserve team. They have a variety of skills, talents and abilities. Teen volunteers have the opportunity to touch patients’ lives by visiting with them at our residential facility, David Simpson Hospice House, at our Hospice Care Center at The Renaissance, and at nursing homes and/or assisted living facilities in their own neighborhoods. Teen volunteers can also assist Hospice of the Western Reserve staff members in various roles, including office support.
“Teen volunteers should be recognized for the important work that they do and the vital role that they play within the transdisciplinary team. Their youth and vitality bring great joy to our patients and families, bridging a gap that only they can accomplish. We are amazed at the passion and commitment in all of our teen volunteers. ” – Dick Whitney, Board Member
Teens attend a comprehensive class offered by the Hospice of the Western Reserve team and work under the direction of the Coordinator of Teen Volunteers.
