Client Support Volunteers Needed

"No one dies in pain and no one dies alone." This has long been the unofficial motto of Compassion & Choices of Washington (C&C), but it is our client support volunteers who make this credo real. Since our founding, the lifeblood of C&C has been our client support team. Our client support volunteers work one-on-one with our terminally ill clients and offer strength and comfort in the most challenging of times.

By speaking openly and candidly about death without judgment and without discomfort, they empower their clients to maintain choice and control at the end of life. No particular set of skills or experiences is required in order to be a client support volunteer; our team includes physicians, hospice workers, a psychiatrist, and several client support volunteers with no medical training. C&C provides training and ongoing support
