The Alzheimer’s Association Needs Your Help
There are a lot of people in the valley who would like to help volunteer some time and make a difference in the community but they just know how to go about it. Perhaps this is your way?
The Alzheimer’s Association is currently recruiting local volunteers to facilitate Family Caregiver Support Groups in Sunnyside.
Chapter trained volunteers receive excellent training, ongoing support, resources, and continuing education opportunities.
Individuals who are often best qualified as support group facilitators include: working or retired social workers, nurses and other healthcare professionals, educators, clergy, counselors, and former family caregivers. Commitment of at least one year is required.

The Alzheimer's Association is the world’s leading voluntary health organization in Alzheimer’s care, support and research. Their mission is to eliminate Alzheimer’s disease through the advancement of research; to provide and enhance care and support for all affected; and to reduce the risk of dementia through the promotion of brain health.
