What is a Thrift Shop Volunteer?
Definition
Those who volunteer to serve in a hospice thrift shop undertake a rudimentary hospice volunteer training, which is then complemented by additional training tailored for a retail environment. This specific training usually continues with practical, on-the-job experience at the thrift shop, alongside a volunteer colleague or a mentor.
Thrift Shop Volunteer Training Goals
- connect volunteers and their work at the thrift shops to hospice mission, vision and values
- provide volunteers with an initial knowledge base

- introduce the personal journey of the volunteer
- educate about the role of volunteers as hospice ambassadors
- teach the history of hospice and scope of services
