Hospice Palliative Care Volunteer Core Training

Hospice Care Ottawa requires all client care volunteers to complete a 30 hour Volunteer Core Training. Our next training will be in Spring of 2025. All new client care applicants will be contacted when our next training is available. Applicants accepted into the program will learn the necessary tools and skills to become a hospice volunteer. Applicants are welcome to volunteer in other hospice roles while awaiting a training session.

Application Process

If you are interested in becoming a hospice volunteer, please fill out an application by visiting this link.

If you meet the criteria, you will be contacted and invited to an Information Session prior to our next training.
