Position Requirements: If you’re interested in volunteering with Hospice of the Red River Valley, the first step is to submit an application at https://www.hrrv.org/volunteer/apply. Once your application is received, a volunteer coordinator will contact you to discuss your interests, goals, history, availability, position requirements, and more, as well as answer any questions you might have.
Volunteers are carefully screened through the completion of a background check, tuberculosis blood test and personal reference check. We provide training to all volunteers to help ensure you feel prepared for your role and confident in your skills.
There is no minimum amount of time you must agree to volunteer each week, month or year; however, we ask for a six-month commitment if at all possible.
