Volunteers are supervised by the Day Respite Coordinator. Activities include: singing, arts and crafts, puzzles, scrapbooking, seated exercises, bingo, and much more. We have opportunities for this position in Leon, Gulf, Wakulla, and Gadsden counties.
AmeriCorps Volunteer
AmeriCorps Members are needed to provide in-home care and activities to persons with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. After you are trained by AmeriCorps, you provide support and companionship to clients, while giving caregivers a much-needed break. Volunteers receive extensive training in dementia care, a monthly stipend, a scholarship to use for yourself (or if 55 years of age or older, pass down to your children or grandchildren), and student loan forbearance with paid interest. If you are interested in this position, please contact Mackenna Davis at Mackenna@alzheimersproject.org for more information.
Office Volunteers
We’re looking for office volunteers who will greet individuals with dementia, family caregivers, and the community on the telephone and in person. Office volunteers are trained to provide information to families, assist in mailings, making phone calls, and general office tasks as assigned by staff. The time commitment is 2 hours minimum one day a week. Please contact Mackenna@alzheimersproject.org with inquiries.
