Who can volunteer with the Memory and Aging Program?
Our volunteers include local college students, medical school students, retired medical professionals, individuals whose lives have been touched by Alzheimer’s and others. You must be at least 18 years of age to volunteer.
What do volunteers do?
Volunteers contribute to a wide range of activities at the Memory and Aging Program. Volunteers may assist the Outreach Team with registration and information booths at community events and expos. Some volunteers also engage in relationship-building in the community. Other individuals donating their time to the program gain experience discussing specific research opportunities with patients and their families. Academic collaborators at Brown University departments based at the Memory and Aging Program may also involve students with data analysis and research. Many of our volunteers have a close connection to Alzheimer’s disease and devote several hours a week to spreading the word about the exciting clinical research being done here at the Memory and Aging Program.
What is required to volunteer and how do I get started?
Volunteer commitments vary depending on program priorities and project availability. Volunteers will receive training as part of the onboarding process.
