Whether you enjoy talking with patients, providing a respite break for family caregivers, assisting our staff with patient care, or sharing a special skill or service, there are many ways to support Agrace patients and their families.
Explore the volunteer roles described below to see what you’d do, and where and when you’d do it. The minimum age and training requirements will also help you choose roles that may be right for you. Please call (608) 327-7163, or email us with your questions.
Visit with patients who live in their own homes or in long-term care facilities in the community.

As a veteran, share your time to lift the spirits of other veterans. Be the warm welcome home they need.
Brighten a patient’s day by visiting with your approved visiting pet.
Use your cosmetology or barber skills to provide haircuts and styles to our patients, because everyone deserves to have their dignity, even when they’re not feeling their best.
