The Twilight Brigade offers a 20 hour nationally certified training course. All Twilight Brigaders are required to take this training. This is the most important part of becoming a Twilight Brigader. You can start volunteering right after the 20 hour training course at a local hospital, nursing home or hospice. They MAY require you to attend their specific training before assigning you a client but most accept our certification of training.

We ask for a $75 love donation. This helps us staff the event with a trainer and provide all your training materials. If there's anything left over it goes straight to the TTB or Local Chapter coffers...to help us train more volunteers!

If you choose to volunteer in the VA after the training you will need to do complete the government orientation program and background checks. This step is important to ensure our veterans are safe from those who may have less than admirable reasons to be a volunteer.
After you receive your "government badge" you will volunteer 10 hours with a Twilight Brigader mentor. This helps you learn the ropes and the art of being a hospice volunteer. Your "government badge" sometimes takes a few weeks, and sadly, sometimes it can take a few months. Please remember, the government is a bureaucracy and it's rarely the people, but the system, that is taking so long.
