Become a Hospice Volunteer — Make a Difference When It Matters Most
Our volunteers come from all walks of life and from all segments of the community. Some come to us with a desire to give back to the community or a personal calling to do hospice work. Others have directly benefited from the services of Hospice of Santa Barbara. HSB has a dynamic volunteer program. As part of the Patient Care Services team, Patient Care Volunteers enhance the quality of life of those impacted by a serious illness and their families by providing social, emotional, and practical support.
We are currently recruiting for our upcoming Hospice of Santa Barbara Volunteer Training. This role is ideal for individuals who:
• Are compassionate and dependable
• Are comfortable sitting with serious illness and the unknown
• Want to serve their community in a meaningful way
No prior experience is needed, just compassion, reliability, and a commitment to serving others.
Comprehensive training and ongoing support are provided.
Our next Patient Care Volunteer Training has been scheduled for April 22nd-May 27th, 2026. Training sessions are held on Wednesdays from 12:00-3:00 pm and applicants must attend all six weeks. Applications must be received by March 15th. Apply at https://www.hospiceofsb.org/volunteer.
