Are you passionate about putting an end to Alzheimer’s disease and all forms of dementia? Would you like to explore getting involved with the Alzheimer’s Association and the Walk to End Alzheimer’s? Then we need you!

In order to grow the Walk to End Alzheimer’s, we must continue to empower volunteers to help us extend our reach.

We have 5 Walks in Northeastern New York: Albany, Troy, Schenectady, Queensbury, and Cooperstown.

Funds raised through the Walks go to vital local care and support programs, as well as fund important research toward better treatments and our ultimate goal - a world without Alzheimer's and all other forms of dementia.

Join our 2025 Volunteer Walk Planning Committee! There is a committee for each Walk. Opportunities exist in the following areas:

1) Executive Leadership Team - helping to recruit sponsors and business teams

2) Community Engagement - helping to recruit community organiztions, helping with grassroots marketing, and helping with retention of past participants and teams

3) Event Experience - helping to plan the logistics of the event

Meetings are held for an hour once every 4-6 weeks, and you are able to choose which one of the 3 sub-committees you would like to support. The commitment includes 1-3 hours of flexible volunteer time between each meeting. We work with each volunteer individually to have you help in areas that are fun and comfortable for you.

We're happy to have a conversation with you to provide more information.

The Alzheimer's Association is the world's leading voluntary health organization in Alzheimer's care, support and research. Our vision is a world without Alzheimer's.

Join Today, Fight Back!
