Celebrating Our Volunteers During National Volunteer Week — and Every Week

Each April, National Volunteer Week gives us a special opportunity to pause and recognize the people who make the Alzheimer’s Association community so extraordinary: our volunteers.

But truthfully, one week is not enough.

During National Volunteer Week — and all year long — the Alzheimer’s Association deeply appreciates the many ways you help advance our mission. Whether you're raising awareness, advocating for change, supporting fundraising events, providing help through support groups, or lending your professional skills behind the scenes, your time and energy are invaluable.

Volunteers are the heart of everything we do. You are out in the community, sharing your stories, educating others, and offering compassion and connection to those navigating the challenges of Alzheimer’s and other dementias. Your efforts shine a light in what can often feel like a very dark time for families.

Together, we’re making a powerful difference — for people living with dementia, their care partners, and their loved ones. Every conversation you have, every event you support, and every step you take brings us closer to a world without Alzheimer’s.

To every volunteer who has stood with us in this fight: thank you. Your dedication brings hope. Your compassion brings comfort. And your commitment moves our mission forward in ways that words can’t fully express.

This National Volunteer Week, we celebrate you — and we carry that gratitude with us every single day.
