Throughout the year, hundreds of volunteers across Washington State and North Idaho help move our mission forward. They all have one thing in common: the desire to make a difference in the lives of people facing Alzheimer’s and all other dementia. Help deliver local programs and services, join an event planning committee or raise your voice as an Alzheimer’s advocate. There are many ways to get involved!

There’s an opportunity for everyone in the community:

Community Engagement Committee
Engage new teams from service and faith-based organizations, schools and universities, and other community groups, and celebrate existing participants and teams.

Become a Walk-Day Volunteer
Every year, the Alzheimer's Association Walk to End Alzheimer's takes place in over 600 communities nationwide — an effort that could not be done without the help of dedicated Walk-day volunteers. These individuals help with event set up and clean up, day-of registration, sponsorship activation, route activities and more!
