Are you outgoing and looking for a community service opportunity in the South Bay this fall? Consider joining us at the Silicon Valley Walk to End Alzheimer's as a Roaming AIM-Advocacy/TrialMatch volunteer!
Walk to End Alzheimer's is the nation's largest events raising critical funds and awareness for Alzheimer's disease research, care, and support. It's also a chance for us to recruit Alzheimer's Impact Movement (AIM) members to support our lobbying efforts for Alzheimer's research funding and legislation to improve supportive services.
In this position you'll report to the Advocacy booth at Walk and will be given a clipboard, pens, and AIM postcards. You will then roam the Walk venue asking as many people as possible to fill out the postcard to get more information on becoming an AIM member and joining TrialMatch: our clinical trial matching service that seeks healthy volunteers and persons with dementia to participate in studies.
Please see the video, below, for more information about a Roaming Advocate's responsibilities on Walk day:
