Memory Cafés are a fun time with seniors who are being proactive about getting engaged socially to maintain their quality of life as best they can. We provide a safe place for them to meet others, socialize with each other, have fun with games and brain engaging activities, singing, and education on topics they have interests in.
Volunteers are needed to help lead and support the activities of these Memory Cafés around San Diego County at these 90 minute, twice a month meetings. Poway Memory Café meetings on 2nd & 4th Wednesday from 10am - 11:30am.
Most desired are those who have experience with caring for an older adult, especially if they had some form of dementia. Non-experienced volunteers are also helpful to help with setting up, signing in, activity participation, and putting things away at the end. Some calling may be requested to help remind participants of upcoming events.
Also, we could use people who could help with making reminder calls at least once a month and other virtual assistance.

Description
What is a Memory Café?
A gathering place for friends worried about or experiencing memory loss, where they can relax, learn and enjoy socialization, discussion, and activities. A chance to get out of the house and do something fun. A chance to engage people mentally and physically for better health. Other family members are welcome as guests, too.
Guides are experienced and trained to facilitate discussions and lead activities for mental and social engagement. Each Guide adapts their Café to fit the nature of the group. Occasionally, a group may invite professionals to present and be available for questions, however, these are educational and not marketing opportunities.
Walk-ins are welcome, but RSVP is appreciated for these FREE groups.
