Community Educators are volunteer public speakers who help the Alzheimer's Association provide consumer education.  These volunteers deliver prepared presentations on topics related to Alzheimer's disease and other dementias, as well as brain health. 

Community representatives raise awareness of our programs, provide basic information and link consumers to services.  They attend tabling events in neighborhoods, rural communities, business, and civic organization.  They offer 20-minute Introduction to Alzheimer's presentations.  Promote Association support groups, education programs, & other events by using their local connections, bulletin boards, social media and physical displays in communities. 

Support Group Facilitators create a safe, open environment where people share their feelings, thoughts and experiences to better cope with and manage the shared challenges of dementia.  Mentors provide training & guidance for facilitators of caregiver groups.
