Meet Aman, one of our incredible Young Carers Program (YCP) summer students. โ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿ’™

During his time with YCP, Aman supported young carers as they connected with peers who truly understand what caregiving looks like at their age. Along the way, he learned about their resilience, their responsibilities, and the courage they show every single day.

Some of his favourite moments were the simple ones โ€” playing basketball, learning new card games, cheering on talent show performances, and sharing laughs and memories that will last a lifetime.

โœจ โ€œTo me, this wasnโ€™t a conventional job โ€” it felt meaningful and special. The staff, volunteers, and youth created such a supportive, joyful environment. It was genuinely my favourite experience in my undergraduate degree.โ€ โ€” Aman

Thank you, Aman, for helping create a space where young carers feel seen, supported, and celebrated. ๐Ÿ’›

โœจ 1,139+ hours of support
โœจ 105 youth connected and cared for
โœจ Special outings like the Toronto Maple Leafs game and the ROM

These words, written by one of our Hospice Toronto volunteers, reflect the true heart of hospice care โ€” compassion, dignity, and meaningful human connection.

Volunteers are at the centre of our mission. They are the friendly face at the door, the comforting voice on a difficult day, and the presence that helps clients and families feel seen, supported, and never alone. Their time and care bring emotional support, companionship, and stability at moments that matter the most.

โ€œDespite all the hardship and pain, your optimism and resilience still shine so brightly.โ€

This message is one of many heartfelt reflections from our volunteer team. It reminds us that hospice care is not just medical โ€” it is deeply human. It is about being present, listening, and walking alongside someone through a challenging chapter of life.

๐ŸŒผ Today, we celebrate and thank every Hospice Toronto volunteer who brings compassion, courage, and hope into the lives of those we serve. We are truly grateful for the difference you make every single day.
