The ProHealth Hospice Team cherishes the impact our volunteers have on the patients and families we serve. Our volunteers are characterized by their selfless and heart-centered approach to life. They are caring people who offer their support and friendship to hospice patients and their families. These volunteers come from all walks of life, community members, retirees, homemakers, veterans, students, etc.

Every volunteer is like a puzzle piece, ready to fulfill a need which only they can provide. Volunteers can exemplify this ability with our patients in a number of ways; sometimes it’s as simple as providing companionship and listening, holding a hand or giving a needed hug. The possibilities are nearly limitless; playing an instrument, cutting hair, mowing the lawn, even walking dogs, are all ways volunteers have shown up to enrich the lives of patients! Volunteers provide support to family members as well, by staying with patients while a family member enjoys a moment alone or runs errands.

What is a hospice volunteer?

Hospice volunteers provide companionship by listening to patients’ stories and engaging in their interests. Often a diagnosis or medical condition will disrupt a patient’s passion. Hospice volunteers try to help patients continue doing the things that matter most to them while living with a terminal illness.

Hospice volunteers are compassionate individuals who provide comfort and support to patients facing a life-limiting illness. Some Volunteers offer specialized skills and support outside of the clinical team. (in example, Cosmetologist, Barber, Reiki Practitioner, licensed or certification needed for these specialties)

There is no one-size-fits-all to what makes a hospice volunteer. Some volunteers participate because they want to give back to the community or they might have a special talent that brings joy to others. However, each volunteer makes a significant impact on patients and their families.

What does a hospice volunteer do?

Volunteers ensure that the patient and family’s needs are met in a variety of ways. This can be through companionship or socialization, assisting with everyday tasks or providing respite time to a patient’s caregivers. Hospice volunteers can also make an impact by assisting the hospice agency with administrative duties.

This can look like:

Hospice volunteers have the unique opportunity to provide a type of care that is companionship-based. This non-clinical support often times helps patients remain in high spirits. It might even give them or their loved ones a break from thinking about their illness.

For more information, please contact the Volunteer Department at 877-977-6432 or fill out an online volunteer application.    HERE: https://bttr.im/l1e1d 

Direct Patient Volunteers at Seva Hospice provide essential companionship and emotional support to patients during their final stages of life. Volunteers offer a comforting presence, helping reduce feelings of loneliness and providing a sense of dignity. Tasks may include reading, listening, assisting with light tasks around the home, or simply being there for a patient and their family. Volunteers are trained to respect the emotional, physical, and spiritual needs of each individual, ensuring that each patient receives personalized and compassionate care.

Every 2nd Saturday of the month, Mosswood Park Church of God partners with the Bread of Life organization to distribute free food to our local community members. On average, we serve up to 60+ families per month including our volunteers. Because we are looking to grow our reach into the greater community as well as to begin assisting students on local colleges campuses experiencing food insecurity, we are in desperate need of volunteers.

The volunteers are welcome to assist us the entire day (9am to 1 pm) or they can work in shifts. From 9am to 10:30 am is setup which consists of unloading the food truck once it arrives, sorting the food and organizing the paperwork. From 10:30 am to 12:30 pm is the actual food distribution to the community or until all of the food has been disbursed, whichever comes first. From 12:30-1 pm is cleanup. If there is any food leftover, we take it into the church and store it either in the refrigerator or on the tables for church members to pickup on Sunday mornings after the worship service. Cleanup also consists of removing tables and chairs used outside during the distribution and placing them back into the church fellowship hall. Lastly, any cardboard boxes which contained the food that is remaining will be broken down and placed into the recycle bin or the garbage dumpster.

In addition, there is also an opportunity if volunteers are interested in doing some administrative work. On Fridays, we have a need for someone to assist with data entry into the Bread of Life database along with the printing of forms for community members to fill out on the day of the food distribution.

In fact, our volunteers are at the heart of every experience we provide at the City Center. Volunteers consider their work impactful and meaningful. And, their efforts are rewarded—not in dollars or cents, but in the incredible difference they make in the lives of those they help.

All first-time volunteers are required to complete an application and meet with a member of our team prior to signing up for a volunteer opportunity.

The CIP CHASE Your Dreams - Achieve Nothing Less Mentor Program is a mentoring program that consists of University of the Pacific students, including CIP students, who have applied and gained training to develop and implement curriculum specifically for underrepresented 6th, 7th, and 8th grade youth-promoting academic and personal excellence.  CIP CHASE understands the importance that support and empowerment can have on the educational attainment of Stockton students.

CHASE mentors work alongside other mentors.  Mentors work in groups of 2-5 mentors and facilitate curriculum sessions to groups of approximately 15-20 students.

Mentoring takes approximately 2 hours a week; 1 hour is dedicated to the overview session in which mentors will learn about the topic and 1 hour for the mentor session they are responsible for facilitating (using the curriculum).
All mentors are committing to making it to the session they are assigned week to week.
Mentors are asked to commit to a minimum of 1 school year (fall to spring).
Ideally, mentors would be available for 2 to 3 years to develop strong relationships with the students they are working with.

Dates/Times:
-Currently sessions are being facilitated in an after-school program style thus times range from 1:00pm-3:30pm and occur once a week during the weekday depending on the school location (for example Madison Elementary on Thursdays at 2:30pm - 3:30pm).

Locations:
-The CHASE Mentor program collaborates with four schools from the Stockton community including Kohl Elementary, Madison Elementary, Wilson Elementary, and St. George Parish School.

*Notice*
In the time of Covid all mentor sessions are conducted via Zoom.
If and when campuses allow students to return to campus, mentors will be responsible for getting to the school campus and facilitating the session face to face.

Mentors will be asked to sign off on a Mentor Contract.  Please see information below related to the contract:

CIP CHASE Mentors agree to:

We welcome students for any time commitment they have available - from those who want to volunteer for a whole school year to those who only have one day available to help us with a special event.

We are need of people with big hearts for kids, especially kids in foster care!

When kids, through no fault of their own, get placed into the juvenile dependency system, the world can become a scary and lonely place. Children in the juvenile dependency system often get moved from home to home, for the child that means; new rules to follow, new school, new teachers, new friends… As CASA volunteer you may very likely be the only ‘constant’ in a foster youth’s life, it’s a big commitment, but impact you will have on a child’s life will be worth it all.  I promise.<!--?xml:namespace prefix = "o" ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /-->

Volunteers who wish to join this program will need to go through 30 hours of trainning over a 5 week period. The trainning is free and the times of the trainning do vary.
