Volunteering at Pilgrims Hospice

Our organization would not exist without the thousands of hours our dedicated team of volunteers contributes to Hospice each year. They freely share their time and many talents to keep our programs operating and, each year, to serve a greater number of Edmonton families.

Join Our Team

Help us extend a loving hand to people facing a progressive life-limiting illness and their families.

With the help of trained volunteers who are supported by health professionals, we are able to offer compassionate care and companionship within our building, at home or in hospital. We help meet their physical, emotional and spiritual needs in ways that allow them to live more fully during the time that remains.

Your involvement in Hospice is truly a gift to your community.

Please email for an application package.

We encourage you to reflect on what you think you can bring to Hospice and why you feel it will be a satisfying volunteer opportunity.

You may find some questions in our application only seem relevant if you are considering volunteering in direct client services. However we encourage you to complete as much information as is possible, regardless of the type of volunteering you identify as being of interest.

Your application will be reviewed and we will contact you to set up a convenient time for an interview.  Along with two references, volunteering at Pilgrims Hospice will also require a Police Records and, depending upon your area of involvement, a Child Welfare Information Check. 

An orientation to services and training opportunities is offered for successful applicants.  Please call to find out the date and time of the next scheduled session. The Society also provides ongoing support in the form of Volunteer Service meetings, advanced education sessions and direction from team managers.

If you have questions about the completion or timing of your application, please call the Hospice at 780-413–9801 or email us.

We look forward to hearing from you.
