Volunteer: Alzheimer's Association Community EducatorDo you love to teach? Do you have that knack for organizing programs? Are you fueled by the desire to raise awareness and understanding of Alzheimer's and related dementia diseases to make a difference in our communities? Then you are an ACE!

ACEs work in their professional, civic, and personal spaces to raise awareness of Alzheimer's and provide education and information to constituents.

Currently, the Association is delivering all presentations virtually, so computer skills and working remotely with applications like Zoom are a must.
