Students aged 14 to 17 are eligible to become junior volunteers for Hospice of Michigan. This may be one way of filling community service hours required at some high schools. In a patient care situation, an adult volunteer or HOM staff member will supervise junior volunteers. The range of activities that junior volunteers may perform includes:
Community projects, events and other non-patient care situations
Direct patient care, such as visiting with HOM patients
Reading to a patient
Working on an art or craft project with a patient
Helping a patient tell their life story
Junior volunteers must take four hours of training to be able to provide non-patient care services, or 12 hours of training to provide director patient care services.
