- A group opportunity. Invite your friends.
Advocates cultivate deep, one-on-one relationships with their members of Congress and other local elected officials. Whether it be dropping by District Offices to discuss Alzheimer’s support and care, going to events with policy makers to share your story, or simply picking up the phone or writing letters to garner awareness and support, Advocacy Volunteers play a key role in fighting for those living with Alzheimer’s.
No experience needed, just passionate volunteers ready to make a difference! Association Public Policy staff stands ready to train and support our Advocates.
Opportunities to advocate at the State Capitol and Washington D.C. with Public Policy Staff are also available.
