Teen Volunteers - 12 and older

A great way to gain meaningful experience through volunteer work and at the same time make a valuable difference in your community.

Being a hospice volunteer is an incredibly rewarding and life changing experience.  The Hospice Youth Volunteer Program is made up of student volunteers aged 12 and older from middle schools, high schools, and colleges in the Salem area and surrounding communities.

A wide variety of volunteer opportunities for youth range from direct contact with patients to little or no contact.  The youth volunteer must be at least 16 years old to have direct patient contact.  Those younger can play an invaluable role in supporting the Willamette Valley Hospice mission by providing administrative support or working on special events and projects that occur throughout the year.
