The Alzheimer's Association, Western Maryland Chapter, is a volunteer-driven organization. The commitment and dedication of every volunteer help to make a difference in the work we do. Read on for a sample of some of the ways you can have an impact in your community. Although all of the following volunteer opportunities are critical components in the overall operation of our Association, we are currently in immediate need of an in-office volunteer to assist with the various tasks in the operation of the Frederick or Hagerstown office. Helpline volunteers also prepare packets of information to mail to callers in response to their specific needs.
Training is provided.
Helpline volunteers are asked to commit to at least a 3-hour shift each week. Some projects involve data entry. Help educate local civic groups and organizations about Alzheimer's disease, the Alzheimer's Association and the services and programs we provide. Provide information to attendees, set up and take down the display. There are three Walks held in our Chapter territory, and help is needed before, during and after the events.
