Time to give back? Consider becoming a Pine Tree Hospice volunteer

    DOVER-FOXCROFT — Do you have some spare time? Are you looking for a way to give back to your community?
    Pine Tree Hospice will offer a series of volunteer trainings this spring. These trainings will provide the knowledge and skills to equip you to help people in our community who are coping with a life-limiting, progressive illness.

    Trainings are arranged into three segments. The first segment, called Core Training, provides the foundation for both direct care and bereavement work. Once volunteers complete this 11-hour segment, they can choose to take the 9-hour Direct Care Hospice Volunteer segment, or the 14-hour Bereavement Facilitator segment, or both.
    All prospective volunteers must take the “Core Training” segment, scheduled for Friday, March 14, 5-9 p.m. and Saturday, March 15, 9 a.m.-4 p.m.
    Those who are interested in becoming a Direct Care Hospice Volunteer will continue with the next segment on Friday, March 21, 5-9 p.m. and Saturday, March 22, 9 a.m.-2 p.m.
    The dates and times for the Bereavement Facilitator segment will be announced at the Core Training.
