Memory Loss Seattle Zoo Walk Volunteer---Thursday

Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: Alzheimer's Association

Come join us on Thursday mornings at the Woodland Park Zoo. We are growing and need more volunteers who are compassionate and enjoy seniors, animals and the outdoors!

The Memory Loss Zoo Walk is a weekly social engagement opportunity for people living with memory loss and their care partner. The program begins at 9:30am on Thursdays with an approximately 45 minute walk through the zoo led by a senior volunteer, followed by about 45 minutes of conversation over coffee and snacks at the Zoo Café. Volunteers make sure the group of people living with memory loss and their care partners stay together during the walk and enjoy the animals. At the cafe volunteers help encourage conversation.
The walk starts at 9:30am and ends around 11:00am. The program runs for 10-12 consecutive weeks, takes a two week break, then begins again. We are ideally looking for volunteers that can make a year commitment.
