- Vigil volunteers provide supportive presence at the bedside of patients who are actively dying .
These are just a few of the ways volunteers in our organization support our patients, families, and staff.

Training is free and flexible to fit your schedule and you can choose what area you want to serve. Students age 13 and up are encouraged to join us as indirect volunteers or can buddy with another trained volunteer (teen or adult) to make in-person visits to patients in facilities .
