About this Opportunity

If you are self-motivated and comfortable reaching out to individuals, organizations and families in need and connecting them to the Alzheimer's Association - we need you on our team! Outreach volunteers attend events or give presentations to encourage people to connect with our supportive community and share resources. Caring for a loved one with Alzheimer's can be very isolating and that's why we strive to bring our resources to people wherever they are! Volunteers are always paired with a staff member or experienced volunteer - so you're never at an event on your own.
Volunteer Responsibilities Include:

  • Represent the Alzheimer's Association at community events, health fairs and other events.
  • Offer 20-minute Introduction to Alzheimer’s presentations for community organizations, congregations, civic organizations, and other clubs.
  • Promote support groups, education programs, Alzheimer & Brain Awareness Month, Walk to End Alzheimer’s, or The Longest Day using your local connections, bulletin boards, social media and physical displays in your community.
  • Connect the Alzheimer's Association to new community organizations and connect people with additional Association services and volunteer opportunities.
Volunteers do not need to take on every task - you can choose the assignments that fit your skills and interests.
