The Alzheimer’s Association is in need of volunteers for one of our core services, support groups. We are looking for support group leaders who can provide guidance and support to those who are going through the journey of Alzheimer’s or dementia with a loved one. Volunteers should have knowledge or be willing to learn about Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias as well as have some experience facilitating groups or the willingness to learn. Passion for people going through this disease is a must. Volunteers for this role will go through an interview process and if accepted must pass a background check. Time commitment would be 4-6 hours a month and extensive training would be provided by the Alzheimer’s Association. This is a very important volunteer role. These volunteers are committed to providing long-term support for those caring for a loved one with dementia on behalf of the Alzheimer’s Association - which is crucial to the care of the person with dementia and those caring for them.
