There are a number of volunteer opportunities available through the Alzheimer Society of Guelph-Wellington: Volunteers are matched with a person who has Alzheimer's disease or a related dementia who is living at home. Companions share weekly recreational and social activities (up to 3 hours/week) while the caregiver takes time for themselves. Training and orientation for the volunteer is provided. Please email the Kit at companion@alzheimer.guelph.org or call 519-836-7672 to find out more about this very worthwhile program. We have a number of opportunities available right now! Special Event Volunteer Requirements depend upon the nature of the event. (Eg. Dragon Boat Races, Coffee Break, Christmas Carols by Candlelight, Walk For Memories.) Please contact Rachel at office@alzheimer.guelph.org or call the office. Research Coordinator On an as needed basis, research educational
topics and compile research into flyers to be distributed to individuals and
families. E-mail Robin at education@alzheimer.guelph.org
or call the office. The Board of Directors of the Alzheimer Society of Guelph-Wellington is made up of volunteers from our community. Our members come from all walks of life, but all have one thing in common. They are all aware of the impact of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias on those individuals with Alzheimer's disease, their caregivers and our community. The Chapter has a number of standing committees that need volunteers to assist with the implementation of Board policy. There are a number of opportunities to help us from fundraising and marketing to public relations and volunteer services. If you would like to be involved, and have a few hours a month to participate in a dynamic and ongoing process, please contact our office for more information. |
