Hospice volunteers create moments of comfort and connection for people at the end of their lives and their primary caregivers. We offer both a non-denominational hospice program and a program tailored to the Jewish community.
Time Commitment: 2–4 hours per week, for a minimum of 6 months
Training: A combination of in person training with 30 hours of self-directed training which Circle of Care arranges through Hospice and Palliative Care Ontario at no cost. After this initial training we offer ongoing learning opportunities. You will be supported every step of the way by our passionate team of fellow volunteers and staff.
Service Area: Most of our clients reside anywhere between St. Clair Ave. W to Major Mackenzie Dr. W., and Jane St. to Don Valley Parkway.

Hospice volunteers provide a range of specialized, non-medical supports tailored to each client’s needs, including:
Spending time with clients through conversation, reading, or simply being present
Offering empathy, reassurance, and a calm presence
Providing short-term respite for family members and caregivers
Supporting with light, non-clinical tasks that enhance comfort and quality of life, such as helping organize photos or writing legacy letters
Every visit and interaction helps someone feel less alone.
