Hospice of Volusia/Flagler began as an all-volunteer organization in 1979, serving 60 patients in its first year. Today, Hospice teams of professional staff serve thousands of patients and their loved ones each year with the help of more than 600 volunteers.

     Volunteers complete 21 hours of a personalized core orientation offered at various locations throughout Volusia and Flagler counties. Ongoing in-service training and special programs are provided monthly. Volunteers fill a number of different roles. They provide patient/family care, assist with bereavement support, offer office support, and participate in public relations activities.   

   Our Teen Volunteer Program offers local teens the opportunity to perform office duties, do light housework, make nursing home visits, and assist with children's bereavement programs.
