Are you looking for a meaningful way to give back to your community? Compassionate Care Plus is preparing for our next New Volunteer Training, and we would love to have you join us!
Our two-part, in-person training will be held Tuesday, October 20, and Thursday, October 22, from 5:30 to 8 p.m. at the Madison County Public Library’s Berea location.
During training, participants will learn more about Compassionate Care Plus, the patients and families we serve, and the many ways volunteers support our mission.
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to volunteering at Compassionate Care Plus. Some volunteers spend time providing companionship and support to patients and families, while others lend a hand at the Compassionate Care Center, assist with special events or community outreach, help with office projects, support our Grief & Loss programs, or share their own unique talents.
“Our volunteers come to us with different interests, talents and amounts of time to give,” said Mariah Smith, Volunteer Coordinator. “We work with each person to help them find a role that is comfortable, meaningful and a good fit for them.”

Not Quite Ready to Volunteer?
That’s okay! We still encourage you to complete a volunteer application! Submitting the volunteer application doesn’t mean you have to get started right away. We can keep your application on file until you’re ready to take the next step.
For those who are ready to begin, completing the application is the first step toward joining our volunteer team.
Can’t Attend In Person?
We also offer an online, self-paced training option. If the October dates don’t work for your schedule, contact Mariah at volunteer@ccpky.org or call 859-986-1500 to learn more about completing training online.
