Volunteers Help Us Help Our Families

The Alzheimer’s Association counts on 35,000 volunteers nationwide to help fulfill our mission. Please consider joining us to help support the nearly 180,000 families in Los Angeles, Riverside and San Bernardino counties who are currently dealing with Alzheimer’s disease.

Now is a great time to volunteer and we’ll provide the training!

Whether you have one hour to give us or a few hours each week, we can find the right fit for your interest and skills. Volunteer opportunities are available in our Los Angeles, San Fernando Valley, East Los Angeles, Inland Empire and Coachella Valley offices and, in some cases, you may be able to volunteer from the comfort of your own home computer. Please contact Rob Allen, our Volunteer & Community Relations Manager, by calling (323) 930-6283 or email rob.allen@alz.org to fill out an application and schedule your orientation.    

We currently have the following volunteer opportunities available:
