 Huron Hospice volunteers display sensitivity, good communication skills, and a willingness to help. They respect the privacy, dignity, and self-determination of each person.

 As a volunteer, you will be screened and will complete an approved Volunteer Training Program. You will receive ongoing education, supervision, and group support.

 There are many ways you can volunteer with our organization. Whether it is as a Volunteer Visitor, a Board or Committee Member, or helping out with events as a Community Volunteer, we are always open to inquiries.
