CACCC, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing end of life education and training. Since 2005, we have helped thousands of Chinese with Advance care Planning, hospice, and palliative care, and we have trained many volunteers to accomplish that. Everything we have done could not have been achieved without our incredible volunteer support. Volunteers allow us to tap into the incredible strengths of our community, providing a wonderful way to “give back”. Due to the popularity of our Heart to Heart Cafés and the increasing demand for our services, we need new volunteers more than ever. This is where you come in. For what our volunteers tell us is a most rewarding and joyful experience, please fill out the Volunteer Application Form .
STORIES
Hello, I am Shawna Wu and I am a senior at Irvington High School in Fremont. I am currently the youngest volunteer at CACCC, which may take many people by surprise, especially when I tell them that I love old people and volunteer at a senior center. When my mother informed me of CACCC and the volunteer opportunity for interacting with cancer patients in hospice care, I was ecstatic to help and converse with senior citizens. Although I had already missed the training, I hope to continue to help within this organization and form connections with people of the same cultural background as me. Recently, I have volunteered with CACCC at the Alzheimer’s Convention where I informed people about hospice care. I hope to be of service in upcoming events!
