The Alzheimer's Association is the largest non-profit health organization dedicated to Alzheimer's disease. Our VISION is a world without Alzheimer's disease. To help us achieve that vision, our MISSION is to eliminate Alzheimer's disease through the advancement of research and promotion of brain health, and to enhance care and support for all individuals, their families and caregivers.
The Georgia Chapter has a staff of approximately 40, located at regional offices and across the state. We need your help--no matter where you live in Georgia--to join us in the fight against the disease. If you are age 14-104 and can give an hour or two once in a while, an hour or two a week, or a greater time commitment, we need you. YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!!! Our volunteers are very special people--individuals who share with us their skills and talents, and become part of the Association team. They are individuals who allow us to leverage our resources, giving us the maximum potential in providing the best possible service to individuals with Alzheimer's disease and their caregivers. All volunteers are asked to complete the volunteer application, go through an interview and training orientation to be best prepared for the duty that best matches their talent and desire.
From the mountains to the beach from Dalton to Valdosta to Columbus to Savannah and all across Georgia- great things happen when you volunteer with the Alzheimer’s Association!
