Hospice of the Valley has several programs for teens:
The Teen Volunteer Program trains teens to work in supervised settings with hospice patients. It's a chance to make a difference in someone else's life, to explore health care as a potential career and to meet school service project requirements. Teens also can train to become volunteer support group facilitators for the New Song Center grief support groups. Click here to apply.
