Office Volunteer at the Alzheimer's Association- Poughkeepsie

We need you! Do you want to make a difference in the community? Do you enjoy helping with office and administrative-related tasks that support a great cause? Alzheimer’s disease is a growing public health epidemic as the population ages, with more than 40,000 people in the Hudson Valley alone. The disease is still shrouded in stigma and fear, and people do not seek information, talk to their doctors, or get help when they first notice cognitive changes. However, together we can change that!

By becoming an office volunteer in our Poughkeepsie office, you will be supporting the crucial behind-the-scenes work as we raise awareness for the Association, educate the community about the disease, and help break the stigma.
