Volunteer Training Overview

Direct Care

Direct care volunteers are required to attend a series of training sessions scheduled over several weeks that total 30+ hours. Trainings are scheduled on an as-needed basis. If you've been trained as a volunteer at a different hospice, you can also volunteer at Seacoast Hospice provided your training reflects adequate documentation. Teens aged 16-19 are also trained by Seacoast Hospice to work with hospice patients. We request a minimum of a year commitment, and between one and four hours of service per week. Please note: while we make every effort to place you, this will fluctuate based on patient census and demographics.
