Volunteer: Make a Real Impact: Volunteer with Gentiva Hospice

You don’t need to have it all “figured out” to change someone’s life. What you do need? Heart, presence, and the willingness to show up for people who truly need you.

At Gentiva Hospice, we’re looking for Gen Z changemakers who want to bring comfort, connection, and compassion to patients and families during one of the most important parts of life: end-of-life care.

Whether it’s through simple conversation, running a quick errand for a caregiver, or just sitting in quiet presence—you’ll make an impact that’s impossible to measure with a résumé line.

Why This Could Be Your Thing:

Authenticity Over Aesthetic: No filters, no fluff—just real connections with people who need supportEnergy That Matters: Share your kindness, patience, and perspective. Even a small act of care can completely change someone’s day.Level-Up Your Purpose: Helping families through life’s hardest transitions brings a kind of fulfillment no paycheck or grade can touch.Community That Cares: Join a team of staff and volunteers who are about compassion, not competition.

This is volunteering that actually means something. If you’ve been looking for a way to give back, grow personally, and be part of something bigger—this is it.
