Dementia Alliance Ambassadors are a dedicated group of volunteer leaders and dementia advocates who engage and activate awareness about Dementia Alliance of North Carolina programs, services and events. They are equipped with knowledge and tools to implement dementia awareness activities within their local communities and serve as a resource for families living with dementia.
Ambassadors help to deepen our commitment and footprint in communities across the state.
