Current Volunteer Opportunity Needs
Memory Café Committee
Monthly gathering of individuals with mild to moderate dementia, their caregivers and volunteers. Our volunteers oversee outreach, marketing, setup/breakdown, activity planning and participation. We strive to create a safe environment for activities for connection, engagement and interaction along with creating a sense of community for the individuals and their caregivers.
Marketing/Outreach Committee
The outreach committee oversees assisting with events, creating/building strategic relationships within the community, and educating and marketing events, education, and resources that NAZADA provides.
Education Committee
The education committee plans (approximately) quarterly educational events, mainly directed at caregivers, although the audience tends to be split between family caregivers and professionals. These events have been held in person in the past, but have been virtual since March of 2020. Participation varies, but events are usually attended by 20-35 people.
Social Media
To educate the community via Social Media posts on the purpose and mission of NAZADA. This committee maintains updates on the website and makes weekly posts on Facebook and Instagram. We live out NAZADA’s mission by providing education and support for caregivers in the community by providing researched articles and informative content.
Volunteer Coordinator
This position maintains regular communication with NAZADA members, assists committee Leaders in recruiting new members/volunteers as needed and participates in other related organizations as NAZADA’s representative.
