Each Volunteer is asked to complete an 18 hour Basic Volunteer Training course and 18 hours of Mentoring, attend a weekly scheduled shift and a monthly education and support meeting. Volunteers may be involved in activities such as sitting at the bedside, visiting with patients and family, serving meals, kitchen clean up, co-facilitating groups, leading walking programs, reading to patients, card/board game play and much more.
