At Superior Hospice, we believe the most powerful instruments aren’t just musical—they’re emotional. As a Hospice Music Volunteer, you’ll help bring peace, connection, and gentle joy to individuals nearing the end of life. Whether it’s strumming a familiar tune, humming a favorite melody, or simply sitting in quiet musical presence, your gift can transform a moment into a memory.

Why Join Our Mission?

• Shape a New Program: Be part of a pioneering team establishing a compassionate, music-integrated hospice culture.
  
• Flexible Scheduling: Choose when and where you volunteer—opportunities available throughout our 21-county service area.
  
• Hands-On Training: We’ll prepare you to enter patients' lives with skill, empathy, and confidence.
  
• Leave a Legacy: Help patients and families find comfort and connection through your time and talents.
  

Your Responsibilities:

• Visit patients in homes, nursing homes, and assisted living communities
  
• Play calming, uplifting, or familiar songs (guitar, piano, vocals—whatever your strength!)
  
• Engage patients in musical experiences—whether listening or singing along
  
• Provide supportive presence and emotional comfort through shared moments
  
• Communicate patient responses and engagement with our care team
  
• Participate in periodic volunteer check-ins or team gatherings
  

What We’re Looking For:

• Strong passion for music and its healing potential
  
• Respectful, compassionate demeanor with excellent listening skills
  
• Comfort being around individuals receiving end-of-life care
  
• Ability to drive to locations up to 35 miles from your home base
  
• Prior experience performing or sharing music in care settings is a plus but not required
  

Whether you’re a college student pursuing music therapy, a retiree with a guitar, or simply someone who finds meaning in melody—this role invites you to make a difference through your gift of sound.

Join us in bringing warmth, music, and humanity into hospice care. We can’t wait to meet you.
