La Maison – Volunteers
Make a difference!
Want to make a real difference in the lives of others?
Looking for a place with meaning, calm and humanity?
At the Maison Mathieu-Froment-Savoie, we are privileged to be able to count on the commitment of over 200 volunteers every year, who help make our Maison a warm, human and comforting place.
For 25 years, volunteers have been at the heart of our mission. Every smile, every attentive ear, every kind gesture brings comfort to people at the end of life and their loved ones. You do much more than help: you create links and shed light on important moments.
We’re looking for people from all walks of life, ready to get involved according to their interests, talents and availability. Whether it’s offering a presence to patients, preparing a meal, tending the garden, playing a piece of soft music or supporting our team in daily tasks, your contribution is invaluable.
