Volunteers are vital to every part of Kaua‘i Hospice’s programs. Services provided include patient and family care, bereavement support, office work, public education and fundraising. The nature of Hospice care requires a very special kind of volunteer; so all volunteers are screened and trained before they begin working with families. A 32-hour training is offered annually; through lectures, film presentations and guest speakers, volunteers become familiar with the different stages of death and dying and learn about Bereavement Care.
