Hospice volunteers provide compassion and caring for terminally ill patients and the family members who care for them. Most volunteers find the experience to be more rewarding than they ever expected and often feel they get as much out of it as do those they help care for. Hospice of the Rapidan periodically offers free training for people interested in becoming volunteers and has scheduled its next training program beginning January. This is a comprehensive program for people interested in volunteering with patients and their caregivers, and consists of a total of 22 hours in 4 five and one half hour sessions. Those interested in volunteering with events, community outreach and in the office require less extensive training.

Training will take place at Hospice of the Rapidan’s offices, 1200 Sunset Lane, Culpeper from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on Saturday’s beginning Saturday, January 20 and ending on Saturday, February 10. No prior experience is required and the program is free of charge. Hospice of the Rapidan has volunteer opportunities with patient families
