You may see some of your fellow members with an Alzheimer's Association Peer Volunteer badge next to their screen name. These members are part of the Peer Volunteer Program designed to welcome, guide, and support all members of the online community.
Peer Volunteers are members just like you, who work closely with the Alzheimer's Association to pursue efforts in order to enhance and develop the online community. Peers will actively assist forum organization, encourage posting and supportive actions within the community, and collaborate with the Association when needed. Although they provide these supportive services, they are not administrators of this site.
Peer Volunteers are community members; they are caregivers and persons with Alzheimer's disease. They are not professionals in this area. Our Peer Volunteers come from a variety of backgrounds but they have three things in common: (1) they have an interest in the success of this community, (2) Alzheimer's disease or another dementia has affected their lives, and (3) they have found support within this community.
Please read below to learn more about your Peer Volunteers. Email onlinecommunity@alz.org if you have any questions or are interested in becoming a Peer Volunteer. We truly appreciate all of the Alzheimer's Association volunteers, especially our very own Peer Volunteers!
