Jewish Social Service Agency Hospice & Transitions Volunteer Training
Do you want to help people during their most challenging days? Do you want to make a real difference in the life of a patient or family by volunteering your time and compassion? JSSA (Jewish Social Service Agency), a non-sectarian community agency, is seeking volunteers over the age of 18 to help enhance the quality of life of individuals and families facing life-threatening or terminal illness. JSSA offers specialized training for prospective volunteers for its Hospice and Transitions programs. We have found it beneficial for individuals to wait one year following the death of a loved one before becoming a volunteer with JSSA Hospice and Transitions. Russian speakers and massage therapists are especially needed. The next 20-hour training course is scheduled for Sunday-Tuesday, March 4-6, 2012 from 9:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m. at JSSA’s Montrose Road office, 6123 Montrose Road, Boardroom, Rockville. Applications and interviews will be required for those interested in the volunteer training. No walk-ins will be accepted. For more information call 888-246-1818 or email
volunteer@shalomdc.org. Please respond no later than February 27 for this opportunity.
