How to becoming a Twilight Brigade Volunteer

To become a Twilight Brigader volunteer your must complete The Twilight Brigade Training. Training sessions are conducted on a regular basis at our National Chapters and affliate locations.


Some training sessions are very large and scheduled well in advance by Twilight Brigade's National headquarters, while others are smaller and more intimate and scheduled by the various chapters on an as needed basis. To learn more or to register for a training please review our Training Schedule or contact your local Twilight Brigade Chapter.

Twilight Brigade Positions

We understand being a bedside volunteering isn't a fit for everyone. As such, there are many ways to share your unique skills and experience with the Twilight Brigade. To learn more about other ways to be involved with the Twilight Brigade we invite you to explore the Twilight Brigade Positions.
"At some point in life almost everyone will be a hospice volunteer; for yourself or for someone you love.

The Twilight Brigade Training is practical, inspirational and chalkful of important things everyone should know about death and dying. It's so life changing you may not even recognize yourself when it's over.

And just remember everybody, if God couldn't come today and She sent you, what difference did you make? As a Twilight Brigader you'll know you're definitely on the job and holding the Light."
