These educational sessions are open to the public, volunteers and staff at Hospice of the Pines. You will receive a certificate of attendance and contact hours upon request. It is helpful to let us know you are planning to attend so materials are available. If you are interesting in obtaining volunteer certification, you must attend the entire series of classes.
All classes are held every Tuesday at Stepping Stones, 6719 E 2nd St, in Prescott Valley. Classes are open, and you can start any time.
