Is it time to give back? Consider becoming a volunteer with Pine Tree Hospice

    DOVER-FOXCROFT — Do you have some spare time? Are you looking for a way to give back to your community? Pine Tree Hospice is pleased to offer a series of volunteer trainings this fall. 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 the “Core Training”, provides the foundation for both direct care and bereavement work. Once volunteers complete this 11-hour segment they may choose to take the nine-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 Thursday, Sept. 18, 5:30-8:30 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 20, 9 a.m.-3 p.m. and Thursday, Sept. 25, 5:30-8:30 p.m.
    The dates and times for the Direct Care and Bereavement Facilitator segments will be announced at the Core Training. To discuss volunteer options or to register for the Pine Tree Hospice volunteer trainings, please call 564-4346 or email wecare@pinetreehospice.org.
