Brave Heart Volunteers is a Sitka, Alaska-based nonprofit in the non-profit sector that provides free companionship, end-of-life support, and grief care to community members facing vulnerable moments. Its services include bedside vigils for those nearing death, respite for caregivers, and one-on-one companionship, as well as grief support groups and retreats, all offered at no charge to the Sitka community. The organization aims to alleviate isolation and loss by ensuring presence and support, positioning itself as a resource for individuals dealing with illness, loss, or grief and for those who care for them. Founded in 2001 by two local nurses, Brave Heart Volunteers operates with a mission rooted in a culturally respectful ethos and serves residents of Sitka without seeking financial compensation for its offerings.
