You Can Help
You can make a difference in the fight against Alzheimer's
disease.
The Alzheimer's Association counts on some 35,000 volunteers
nationwide. Please join them in helping achieve our vision
of creating a world without Alzheimer's disease while optimizing
quality of life for people who are affected by Alzheimer's
disease. Whether you can spare only a couple of hours or week
or make a more significant time commitment, we hope you will
consider joining this very special community.
There are many ways to volunteer:
Memory Walk - Come walk with us each fall and help
raise money for the Alzheimer's Association. Millions of men,
women and children participate as walkers, volunteers and
sponsors each year.
Get involved locally
If you have a professional background in health care, social services, marketing, public
relations, or accounting, your expertise can enhance the quality
of chapter programs and services. You can help your local
chapter develop and/or implement events and programs such
as public awareness campaigns, speakers bureaus, Helpline,
support groups for individuals with early-stage Alzheimer's,
care coordination, and education and training programs. To
help volunteers with program implementation, chapters offer
orientation, training, and ongoing information sessions.
Contact us to learn more about volunteer opportunities
and events in your community
Advocacy
Help shape laws at the federal, state,
or local level by communicating Association positions to legislators
and educating them about Alzheimer-related issues. Association
advocates have helped raise government funds for Alzheimer
research and improved access to long-term care for persons
in their communities.
Contact us to learn more about becoming an advocate.
Chapter Office
Assist in the many administrative tasks needed to keep a chapter
running smoothly.
Board Service
Support your local chapter or the
national office by playing a leadership role in the work of
the Association. The national board directs the work of the
Association nationwide by providing counsel on such matters
as strategic and financial planning, program development,
public relations, and fund-raising. Chapter boards have a
significant impact on the local level, providing strategic
direction and helping to strengthen local programs and services.
