Compassion is Contagious
Step into a role that truly makes a difference. As a palliative care volunteer, you’ll offer compassionate support during some of life’s most challenging moments, walking alongside individuals and families from diagnosis through grief and loss.
This isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about being present, building meaningful connections, and offering comfort when it matters most.
Join us and be part of something that truly supports our community.
Hopsice Volunteers offer one-to-one companionship to individuals living with a life-limiting illness and their families through regular visits in hospice and designated care facilities. They focus on presence, conversation, and emotional support to enhance quality of life. This non-medical, non-clinical role does not involve personal care. Training and ongoing support are provided.
Volunteering is about giving your time and energy to help others, expecting nothing in return.

Training and ongoing support are provided.
Volunteers provide meaningful connection to individuals across Northwestern Alberta by writing letters that bring joy, conversation, and companionship. We collect and deliver the letters, helping reduce isolation and foster connection. Volunteers can write as often as they like, and while not all individuals may respond, each letter makes a meaningful impact.
