Needs From: Belmont Office of Community-Engaged Learning and Service

Share your time and talents with Caris Hospice through Special Projects volunteering. This opportunity is perfect for volunteers who want to support hospice patients and families in creative, practical, and behind-the-scenes ways without direct patient interaction.

Special Projects Volunteers may help by donating needed items, creating handmade gifts, assisting with legacy or remembrance projects, arranging flowers, helping with gardening or yard work, or supporting other meaningful tasks that bless patients and families. Opportunities can include crafting, collecting supplies, assembling gifts, or helping with seasonal and community-based projects.

This role is flexible and can be a wonderful fit for individuals, groups, clubs, churches, or community partners who want to make a tangible impact through service.

Support Caris Hospice behind the scenes by serving as an Administrative Volunteer. This role is a great fit for volunteers who enjoy staying organized, helping with office projects, and supporting meaningful work in a practical way.

Administrative Volunteers may assist with tasks such as clerical work, assembling information packets, making calls, answering phones, organizing medical supplies, computer-based projects, creating bulletin boards, helping with holiday decorations, and assisting with community events, projects, or presentations. This role helps our team serve patients and families more effectively every day.

Volunteers typically serve in or through our Nashville office during weekday business hours. This opportunity is ideal for individuals who want to make a difference in hospice care without providing direct patient care.
