Volunteer services
Our Volunteer Services department provides quality support services to members, visitors, and staff in the Kaiser Permanente South Bay service area and to our local communities.
You must be at least 16 years old to volunteer. Our volunteers are as culturally diverse as our community, and many are Kaiser Permanente members. All of our volunteers share a strong desire to help and a willingness to serve where they are most needed. Our volunteer opportunities change rapidly, therefore placement to a specific department is usually determined after the on-boarding process.

Please contact the Volunteer Service department at 310-517-2182 for additional information.
Hospice Volunteers
Do you want to make a difference in someone’s life when it matters most? As a hospice volunteer for our South Bay service area, you can help terminally ill patients and their families by running errands, providing friendly visits, or giving a caregiver a break.
Hospice care provides medical services, emotional support, and spiritual resources for people who are in the final stages of a terminal illness, such as cancer or heart failure. Hospice also can help family members deal with the practical and emotional challenges of dealing with a dying loved one.
If you are 18 or older, can spare about 2 to 4 hours a week, and have transportation, you could help families during their difficult time. No prior experience is required. Bilingual skills are especially helpful.
For more information, please contact Hospice Volunteer Recruitment at 562-622-4239.
