Your Heart, Their Comfort.

No experience is required—just a willingness to show up and make a diffference. We provide training and ongoing support to help you feel prepared and confident in your role.  

That’s exactly what our Volunteer Coordinator is here for! We’ll take the time to get to know you and help you find a role that feels like a good fit. And if things change over time, that’s okay—we can adjust your role, provide training in different areas, offer a break if needed, or help you explore new opportunities that better match your interests.

Of course. We recognize that working directly with patients can feel intimidating at first, so we offer a variety of behind-the-scenes and remote opportunities that are also meaningful in many different ways. Several of our patient companions share that, once they begin, those moments of connection with patients often become some of the most meaningful and impactful parts of their experience. That said, there are many ways to contribute, and we’ll always help you find what feels right for you.

It varies depending on the role, and we’ll work with your schedule to find something that feels manageable. Whether you have a little time or more to give, there’s a place for you.

Not at all! We serve patients and families across Chemung, Schuyler, and Steuben counties and match volunteers with opportunities close to home whenever possible. We also offer remote roles, so distance is never a barrier.
