"Always caring, always sharing." That's certainly true of Hospice by the Sea's volunteers.  Our volunteer family is nearly 400 people strong. This wonderful team ranges in age from 15 to 93, and provides more than 37,000 hours of invaluable support a year.

We have a valued place for you.  Our opportunities are just as individual as you are.  They include a broad span of patient care, administrative activities, and special events in locations throughout Palm Beach and Broward counties:

• Office Assistance – Help us with administrative duties in our Boca Raton office.
