CSUCI Advisory Committee: Help the Alzheimer's Association develop our first-ever student-focused advisory committee that provides support, education, and awareness to those who may be currently impacted by a dementia diagnosis. Your input and guidance on how we can best support your peers are invaluable as they not only decide career paths but also prepare to be the next generation of family or formal caregivers.
Community Educator: Community Educators are volunteer speakers who help provide education and expand the reach of Alzheimer's Association programs. Community Educators deliver Alzheimer's Association programs on topics related to Alzheimer's disease and other dementias using prepared materials.
Community Outreach: Faith Community Outreach or Community Representative
Representatives are needed to serve as an extension of local Alzheimer's Association offices at community events (i.e., health fairs, festivals, congregations, community centers, corporations) to distribute information and connect constituents with additional Alzheimer's Association services.
