Are you a compassionate person looking to make a profound difference in your local community? Harbor Hospice is seeking dedicated volunteers to provide companionship and emotional support to patients in the Baytown area. Whether you are a student, a working professional, or a retiree, your presence can brighten a patient's day.
At Harbor Hospice, we believe that no one should face their final journey alone. We are looking for "Kindness Ambassadors" to visit with our patients—sharing stories, reading books, playing music, or simply holding a hand.
What you’ll do:
Be a Friend: Visit patients at home or in facilities to provide companionship and socialization.
Support Families: Provide a "respite" break for family caregivers so they can run errands or take a nap.
Share Talents: If you play an instrument, love to craft, or have a gentle pet (therapy certified), we’d love for you to share those gifts.
Simple Gestures: Help with reading mail, watching a favorite movie together, or celebrating birthdays with cards and cupcakes.
Why Volunteer with Us?
Flexible Scheduling: We work around your school or work schedule. Just 1–2 hours a week makes a massive impact!
Academic Growth: Perfect for medical, social work and Psychology students looking for real-world experience in end-of-life care and human connection.
Full Training Provided: We ensure you feel confident and prepared with comprehensive orientation and ongoing support.
Community Impact: Join a tight-knit team in Baytown dedicated to dignity and comfort.
Requirements:
Must be 18 years or older.
Must pass a background check and drug screen (provided by us).
A heart for service and a reliable, empathetic nature.
