Volunteer

You want to make a difference. And we need your help.

Volunteers are the most important resource for charitable organizations like ours. At the Alzheimer Society of Saskatchewan, volunteer time and energy are essential to help us support people living with dementia.

Benefits of volunteering

Volunteers are people like you who want to make a difference in their community. When you become an Alzheimer Society volunteer you have a chance to:

• Help make life better for those living with dementia
• Help improve the quality of community life
• Support a cause that you believe in
• Work with other members of the team to achieve a specific goal

Volunteering also helps you make a difference in your own life. You can:

• Use your professional skills in a new setting
• Meet other people who share your interests and passions
• Learn new skills and discover new talents
• Advance your career or gain experience and qualifications for future employment, scholarships, bursaries and academic programs
• Build your network and establish contacts in your field of interest
• Boost your health and reduce your stress
• Create a schedule that works for you
• Have fun!

Whether you have just a bit of time or want to get involved on a regular basis, there are a number of ways you can help.

Contact us at 949-4141 in Regina, 683-6322 in Saskatoon, or 1-800-263-3367 toll-free elsewhere in Saskatchewan, or e-mail office@alzheimer.sk.ca to talk about how you can get involved. Here are a few examples of volunteer opportunities that may appeal to your interests:
