We are looking for individuals that can help to represent the Alzheimer's Association at various community events. This would mainly involve setting up a table with our resource information at health fairs, senior events, conferences, etc. Many of these are on Saturdays.

If you love being out in the community and talking to people, this is the right volunteer position for you!


People living with dementia and their caregivers need to know about the Association and our resources, help us share that information.
