Kansas City Hospice and Palliative Care Volunteer Opportunities


Team Pajamas - A Volunteer Program for Teens and Young Adults

Team Pajamas is a new volunteer program, developed by Kansas City Hospice & Palliative Care, that offers unique opportunities for teens and young adults (ages 16 and older) to get involved and make an impact. Volunteers take a hospitality cart around the hospice house in the evening and offer families and patient snacks, ear plugs, activity books, coloring supplies, puzzles and such to help them get settled for the night.

Onboarding Requirements

At this time our volunteer orientation for Team Pajamas is through a self-paced, all-digital format.

Volunteer interviews may be conducted virtually or in person, but there will be an opportunity to visit and get to know your volunteer coordinator during the onboarding process.

Onboarding Requirements: 

-Virtual volunteer training (approximately 7 hours of self-guided volunteer training)
