Volunteering Overview Volunteer Orientation & Training Volunteering Opportunities		Upcoming Volunteer Orientation

Volunteers play a significant role in the Alzheimer's Association, National Capital Area. Volunteers help advance our mission of supporting people with Alzheimer's disease and related memory disorders, their families, and those professionals who care for them. We are the primary support network and information resource for families and caregivers in Northern Virginia, suburban Maryland and the District of Columbia.

We especially are interested in volunteers who are willing to serve in Prince George's County, Maryland and the District of Columbia, as we expand services to better meet the needs in these areas. Bilingual volunteers, in any language, are greatly needed to help us better serve the diverse population of the Washington metro area. Specifically, Spanish, Korean and Vietnamese bilingual volunteers would enable us to reach segments of these underserved populations.

You will find a wide range of opportunities that will enable you to offer your caring, time and skills to help others. Our Volunteer Coordinator will help you determine what positions will give you the most satisfaction. We thank you for your interest in volunteering with us.

To volunteer, call 703-359-4440 or toll-free 1-800-272-3900 or print out the Volunteer Application Form and complete and return it via mail, e-mail, or fax to the Chapter at 703-359-4441. If e-mailing, please use the submit button on the bottom of the on-line form.

A required orientation session for Helpline, health fair and Speakers Bureau volunteers and support group leaders acquaints those volunteers with the mission of the Chapter, the staff members with whom they will work and some facts about Alzheimer's disease. On-going support and training are provided.
