BRATTLEBORO, Vt. – Brattleboro Area Hospice (BAH) still has a few openings for the fall Bereavement Program volunteer training. The training will be held on Tuesdays, Sept. 24 – Nov. 19 (skipping Oct. 8), from 3-6 p.m., at the BAH office, 191 Canal Street, Brattleboro.
This is an opportunity to work as a bereavement volunteer for one of the most compassionate and caring organizations in Windham County. Bereavement volunteers provide emotional support and companionship to individuals grieving the death loss of a loved one.
Applications are being accepted until Sept. 13. An online fillable application is available at www.brattleborohospice.org/how-you-can-help/volunteering, or you can contact the office to receive one by email or USPS.
No experience is needed, space is limited and filling up fast. We ask for a contribution to cover the cost of materials; scholarships are available. Following the 10-week training, volunteers are expected to commit to one hour per week spent with a bereaved individual. For more information, please contact Lars Hunter, bereavement program coordinator, at 802-257-0775 extension 104, or lars.hunter@brattleborohospice.org
