Community Educators/Outreach volunteers needed for the Alzheimer's Association
♡ SaveAbout this opportunity
The Alzheimer's Association relies on dedicated volunteers to achieve their vision of a world without Alzheimer's and all other dementia. They seek committed, passionate volunteers to educate the public, lead support groups and provide social engagement to those living with early-stage Alzheimer's in all communities. Volunteers are needed for a Community Educator volunteer. Volunteers are public speakers who provide Alzheimer's Association education programs to community audiences. Volunteers who want to raise awareness of Alzheimer's Association programs, provide basic disease information and link consumers to Alzheimer's Association services are also needed in the Community Representative role. Please contact us to learn more about this and other opportunities at the Alzheimer's Association.

AmeriCorps members and AmeriCorps Seniors volunteers served at more than 2,400 locations across Texas, including schools, food banks, homeless shelters, health clinics, youth centers, veterans facilities, and other nonprofit and faith-based organizations.Those who benefit from the work performed by engAGE Travis County and RSVP volunteers include the full spectrum of people from birth to old age, including homeless or isolated people with acute, chronic or terminal illnesses; frail homebound seniors; low-income families; teen mothers; disaster victims; at-risk youth; veterans; people with physical, mental or learning disabilities; and seniors in nutrition programs.Help your community by offering your unique skills and talents. We’ll recommend ongoing and short-term volunteer opportunities based on your skills and interests, but the choice of where you volunteer and what you do is entirely yours. The benefits of being a volunteer (aged 50 and over) are numerous: travel reimbursement, on-duty accident and liability insurance, life-long learning opportunities, social engagement, recognition, and greetings throughout the year.
