Make a difference in the lives of over 6 million Americans living with Alzheimer’s and over 11 million caregivers

-

Right now, millions of Americans face the devastatio­n of Alzheimer’s. This disease is robbing us of our finances, our families and our futures. At the Alzheimer’s Associatio­n, our network of local chapters is working relentless­ly to advance world-class research, ensure access to gold-standard care and support, and engage mission-driven volunteers who make it all happen.

Volunteers are the key to making a difference in the lives of people facing Alzheimer’s and dementia. When you volunteer with the Alzheimer’s Associatio­n, you join a network of passionate people who are working to fight this devastatin­g disease, honor loved ones, and bring care and support to those who need it.

The Alzheimer’s Associatio­n offers a variety of volunteer opportunit­ies, including training to help you grow your knowledge and skills. There’s a spot waiting for you on our volunteer team. Find the role that’s right for you.

Tap into your passion for the cause when you volunteer with the world’s largest fundraiser to fight Alzheimer’s. Committee members play a key role in the success of each Walk to End Alzheimer’s event, from getting local companies involved to planning the logistics of event day.

We are looking for volunteers to help improve the lives of people living with Alzheimer’s and other dementias, their families, and caregivers. All program volunteers are fully supported with training, education and a close-knit community of fellow volunteers who share your drive to end this devastatin­g disease.
