In the United States, volunteer services are mandated by hospice Medicare guidelines; volunteers provide a very valuable service to patients, families, and other members of the interdisciplinary team. A hospice junior volunteer program can engage teens in the care of the dying in our communities. This article describes the development and implementation of a junior volunteer program at St. Thomas Hospice in Hinsdale, Illinois.
