Requirements:
- 18 years old.

- Ability to listen deeply, interest in and compassion for others, good boundaries and self-care, and meet people where they’re at in energy and tone.
- Free Comprehensive Online training (10 Hours, at your own pace) is personally enriching, focusing on personal death awareness and hospice philosophy. The training is a great resume add. For those that complete the training and honor their commitment, we offer a letter of recommendation!
