We love our volunteers! 

Volunteers are at the heart of what we do.  Our volunteers give generously of their time and are an essential part of our team.  They bring their compassion, diversity, skills and enthusiasm to a wide variety of role at Hospice Yukon.

Throughout the year we have opportunities for volunteers to connect with each other over dinners, education opportunities, and other activities.  Our annual Volunteer Appreciation Dinner and AGM takes place in May every year.

Volunteer with clients

We take care to find a good fit between the interests and skills of each volunteer with an appropriate role at Hospice Yukon.

Client-focused volunteer roles include:

-Healing Touch Volunteer

-Vigil Volunteer

-Volunteer at Community Events (information table or in-service presentations)

-Grief Group Facilitator

If you are interested in volunteering with clients directly please email carlie@hospiceyukon.net to have a further conversation. 

Volunteers are screened to ensure a good fit, including a written application form (or conversation if you prefer), Criminal Record Check, references, and informal interview. 

Client-Focused Volunteer Training takes place when we have an organizational need.  We currently do not have a training scheduled.

Volunteer behind the scenes

We value volunteers who help in a range of non-client facing roles which help Hospice Yukon run smoothly! These roles include (but are not limited to) helping with the library, preparing for community workshops, preparing information packages, helping with mailouts, research projects and newsletter articles, yard maintenance, house repairs, poster distribution, making feelie hearts, and more.

We welcome high school students who need volunteering hours to meet graduation requirements or are looking for a great way to build their resume and gain skills.

If you are interested in volunteering behind the scenes with Hospice Yukon please email carlie@hospiceyukon.net.
