Our network of Community Educator volunteers are trained to deliver our core education programs. The Alzheimer's Association guides each volunteer through four modules of training, including online training, class observation, and co-teaching with an experienced volunteer or staff member. Once the volunteer is trained, they will be asked to teach classes for any community organization that requests a presentation during a time that the volunteer is available.
Our Community Educator volunteers allow us to educate the public on the basics of Alzheimer's and other dementias. This raises awareness of the disease and how it affects members of our community.
If you are a person with any teaching experience or an interest in spreading knowledge, please email Leila Thayer Malone (LMThayer@alz.org) or register online at volunteer.alz.org
