Advocacy Volunteers play a vital role in the Alzheimer’s Association efforts to strengthen federal, state, and local policy maker commitment to end Alzheimer’s disease. Advocacy volunteers serve as the Alzheimer’s Association primary messengers for their member of Congress. They work directly with our staff to build relationships with their member of Congress through personal contacts, meetings, writing letters to the editor in response to Alzheimer's related news, and other activities.
We will provide you with all the training and resources to have a successful volunteer experience, plus we have regular committee meetings to keep in touch.
