Dementia Alliance Ambassadors are volunteer leaders and dementia advocates who engage and activate awareness about Dementia Alliance of North Carolina programs, services and events. We aim to equip you with knowledge and tools to implement dementia awareness activities within your local communities and serve as a resource for families living with dementia.
As ambassadors you help deepen our commitment and footprint in communities across the state. Thank you for assisting us in fulfilling our mission of improving the lives of North Carolinians affected by dementia and empowering their caregivers through support, education, and research.
Your collaboration enables us to provide extensive personalized support throughout the dementia journey, based on our CARE foundation: Comfort, Assistance, Resources, and Education.
We encourage you to engage the community in one or more of the following ways:
- Share information about dementia resources and events
- Provide dementia materials in visible community locations (faith communities, libraries, community centers, doctors’ offices)
- Promote DANC-sponsored programs, workshops and events through local channels
- Give civic group presentations
- Seek opportunities and represent DANC at Health Fairs
- Become a support group leader (additional training required)
- Coordinate logistics of dementia workshops in your community
- Start a dementia caregiver ministry in a local faith community
