It is astonishing how many people are affected by Alzheimer's Disease. It is not just an illness that touches the person who has it. It is also very stressful for friends, family, and caregivers.
The Alzheimer's Association is seeking volunteers to share their time and champion our cause in their local communities. The goal is to help connect people to the free and low cost services we offer.
Our association is active in 96 counties in Missouri and Illinois. Despite our large reach, we cannot do it alone. Outreach Ambassadors network locally with people such as neighbors, medical providers, community clubs, local businesses, and even schools. They share news about the Alzheimer's Association and how we are here--ready and willing--to help.
Ambassadors help promote upcoming chapter events, connect people to our services, educate local professionals about our resources, and serve as a representative in their community.
The best part is that Outreach Ambassadors have the freedom and flexibility to volunteer on their schedules. Whether you prefer the occasional weeknight, some time on a weekend, or bits of time here and there during the day, the ambassador role flexes to fit your schedule.
Full training, support, and materials are provided, and there is support each step of the way.
As our chapter has grown, one constant is the need to reach people who need our help but haven't yet found us. Both in St. Louis and especially in our rural communities, the need for your helping hand has never been greater.
Note: This is listed as a "virtual" listing because volunteers do not need to work from our St. Louis-area office. However, volunteers do need to reside in our 38-county service area. Our counties include:
