We are looking for energetic, compassionate individuals to provide assistance to caregivers for people living with dementia. There are numerous ways to become involved; we will work with you to find the opportunity that best fits your interests and talents. Caregivers often neglect themselves and sacrifice their own health and happiness; we want to ensure that caregivers are cared for and thrive so that they can continue to provide the best care to their loved ones.Volunteer opportunities include, but are certainly not limited to: facilitating support groups and workshops, assisting with special events, providing in-home companionship, educational assistance, and office support assistance.Volunteers will be trained and supported by an enthusiastic team that will be available throughout the volunteer experience. Consider volunteering with us as we strive to provide support and relief to the growing number of caregivers in Western New York.
