Raise awareness of Alzheimer's, dementia, and brain health in your community! (Mariposa)

Do you want to get involved in your community and help people learn about Alzheimer's Association programs and services, and share information about brain health? Alzheimer's Association Community Representatives are community engagers that raise awareness of Alzheimer's Association programs, provide basic disease information, and link consumers to Alzheimer’s Association services

Community Representatives:

• Represent the Alzheimer's Association at community events in neighborhoods, rural counties, business and civic organizations or faith communities.
• Option to learn and offer 20-minute Awareness Champion for community organizations, congregations, civic organizations, sororities / fraternities, clubs and other locations.
• Promote support groups, education programs, Alzheimer & Brain Awareness Month, Walk to End Alzheimer’s, or The Longest Day using your local connections, bulletin boards, social media and physical displays in your community.
• Connect the Alzheimer's Association to new community organizations and connect people with additional Association services and volunteer opportunities.

Most opportunities are in person, and the time commitment ranges from 1 to a few hours a month, depending on demand. We are busiest in the spring through fall, when people are out and about and outdoor events are taking place! Weekend availability is a plus, but weekday opportunities may also arise.

The Alzheimer's Association is seeking volunteer candidates with:

• Self-motivated individual that is comfortable reaching out to individuals, organizations and families in need and connecting them to the Alzheimer's Association.
• Excellent verbal and written communications skills and comfort with computers and email.
• Passionate about the Alzheimer’s Association mission with personal or professional experience with dementia preferred.
• Must be age 18 to apply. Background checks are required.
