Every 67 seconds, someone in the United States develops Alzheimer's. We need your help to ensure that everyone affected by this disease has access to information in their time of need. Train to become an Alzheimer's Association Community Representative or Community Educator. You don't need to be an expert on Alzheimer's disease to help out. Each volunteer goes through plenty of online training and mentorship to learn more about Alzheimer's disease and the services the Alzheimer's Association offers.

Alzheimer's takes a devastating toll on caregivers. Compared with caregivers of people without dementia, twice as many caregivers of those with dementia indicate substantial emotional, financial and physical difficulties. Of the total lifetime cost of caring for someone with dementia, 70% is borne by families - either through out-of-pocket health and long-term care expenses or from the value of unpaid care.
