Alzheimer's Association Mission: To eliminate Alzheimer's disease through the advancement of research; to provide and enhance care and support for all affected, and to reduce the risk of dementia through the promotion of brain health. The Alzheimer's Association is the leading voluntary health organization in Alzheimer's care, support, and research.

Our Vision : A world without Alzheimer's disease.

We are looking for passionate committee members for the Walk to End Alzheimer’s, the Alzheimer’s Association’s #1 fundraising program! Alzheimer’s isn’t stopping. Neither are we.

The volunteer's role for the Walk includes all or some of the following: attending monthly committee meetings (currently virtual), making phone calls to participants, writing thank you cards, reaching out to your network and making connections, assisting with the marketing of events, participating on the Walk social media pages, fundraising etc. Your Alzheimer's Association staff partner supports you throughout the program and is very flexible and happy to tailor your volunteer experience around your interests and schedule. We are currently 100% remote but will be in person when it is safe to do so.

Ideal volunteers would have some of these traits: Enjoy connecting with people, passionate about ending Alzheimer's, enthusiastic, creative, comfortable talking on the phone, and a willingness to participate in or co-host events.

Monthly commitment: Approximately 4-5 hours per month. This will vary depending on the month, and as mentioned above, our staff partner is very flexible with what works for you. While this year's walk is on O ctober 22nd, we like working with volunteers year-round. The volunteering begins on January 1st and goes through the end of December 2021.
