Early Stage Memory Loss (ESML) Programming Support

Help create a dementia-friendly community through our weekly enrichment class, the Gathering Place. Volunteers converse with class participants, assist with writing and drawing exercises and other activities, help make reminder calls, and enjoy the company of our participants. Classes are scheduled to be online on Tues and in person on Thurs (both days are 1-3 pm (volunteers typically work 1-2 times per month), with occasional meetings with our staff.

Ideal candidates have some experience working with seniors or an interest in working with people with ESML, and are at least 21 years old. Background check required, yearlong commitment requested. Virtual volunteers must supply own device and internet connection.
