Alzheimer's is the 6th leading cause of death in the U.S. and one of the most feared diseases among seniors. Yet many communities lack important information about this terrible disease.
Help educate residents of Alameda, Contra Costa, or Solano counties by volunteering as a Community Representative for the Alzheimer’s Association. Staff a table at a local health fair, drop off materials to your senior or community center, network with local places of worship and social clubs.
Help bring awareness of dementia and Alzheimer’s and available resources to YOUR community!
(If you enjoy public speaking or teaching, please check out our COMMUNITY EDUCATOR opportunity on this site and volunteer to educate your community about the difference between normal aging and Alzheimer's, how to reduce one's risk of getting the disease, and the programs and services available to families and individuals coping with Alzheimer's.)

The Alzheimer's Association is the leading voluntary health organization in Alzheimer care, support and research. Our mission: To eliminate Alzheimer's disease through the advancement of research; to provide and enhance care and support for all affected; and to reduce the risk of dementia through the promotion of brain health.

Description
We provide programs and support services for patients, families, caregivers, and others in the San Francisco Bay Area affected by Alzheimer's disease and related disorders.

At the Alzheimer's Association, diversity and inclusion are vital to our mission. The Association leads strategic initiatives to support diversity and a culture of inclusivity.
