We are looking for volunteers interested in working with people experiencing memory loss. Volunteers can choose to commit to a weekly Zoo Walk, or as a sub who rotates between several activities. Time committment is generally 2-4 hours per week, with some flexibility for the sub position; year-long commitment requested. Activities at the Greenwood Senior Center, Phinney Center and Woodland Park Zoo (all in NW Seattle, in the Phinney-Greenwood neighborhood), and accessible by bus.
