The dynamic volunteer position is an opportunity to make a big impact in generating awareness about Alzheimer’s disease. AACRs assist the Alzheimer’s Association education team by presenting brief education programs in the communities they serve and representing the Association at health fairs and other community events. Those in the role also speak to community organizations about the mission, programs and services of the Alzheimer’s Association as well as perform outreach to church, school or senior clubs.
Volunteers must be organized, energized and comfortable with public speaking. Professional experience in dementia care is not required. To avoid conflicts of interest, AACRs cannot work with organizations or programs that are potential referral sources for the Association and must undergo a screening and background check.
New volunteers will receive training led by Association staff members, who continue a hands-on role with AACRs as they help to further the mission of the Alzheimer’s Association.
To become an AACR, click here and select Alzheimer’s Association Community Rep on the application form. Applicants will also be asked to provide one personal and one education or professional reference.
