The Alzheimer's Association is recruiting high-impact volunteers in several facets of its mission as the organization strives to serve more individuals and families.
 

Attendees are encouraged to drop in. The event will resemble a job fair, said Marilyn Hahn, chapter volunteer engagement manager. Attendees will check-in and then move throughout the room to visit the departments that interest them. Each chapter department will have a table and display board highlighting the impact, requirements and benefits of their volunteer positions. Copies of volunteer position descriptions will be available. Current volunteers and staff will be on hand to answer questions, she said.
 

Attendees ready to commit will complete a volunteer application and schedule a 15-minute phone interview with Hahn with placement to follow.

The organization is specifically seeking volunteers to teach educational programs, create awareness while raising funds, promote change in public policy and facilitate support groups. However, many other opportunities are available, including “done in a day” events, office projects and data entry. Anyone interested in volunteering in any capacity is encouraged to attend.
