- Have great interpersonal skills and enjoy supporting others,
- Enjoy learning new skills,
- Have 2-3 hours each month available for volunteering, and
- Can make at least a 1-year commitment.

About Alzheimer's Association

Mission Statement
To Eliminate Alzheimer's disease thru the advancement of research; to provide and enhance care and support for all affected; and to reduce the risk of dementia and promote brain health.
Description
In 1979, Jerome H. Stone and representatives from several family support groups met with the National Institute on Aging to explore the value of a national, independent, nonprofit organization to complement federal efforts surrounding Alzheimer's disease. That meeting resulted in the April 10, 1980, formation of the Alzheimer's Association with Mr. Stone as founding president.
Today, the Association reaches millions of people affected by Alzheimer’s across the globe through our national office and more than 75 local chapters. As the largest donor-supported, voluntary health organization for Alzheimer’s, the Association is a catalyst for advancements in Alzheimer's research and care.
