Please note: Starting from Aug 2023, we have made a transition from Google Classroom to the website for all volunteer-related forms

Volunteers play the most fundamental role at National Alzheimer’s Buddies, spending time with their buddies and building a 1-on-1 relationship with them. Being a volunteer comes with certain requirements:

• All volunteers need to complete the volunteer training quiz before beginning to volunteer with NAB. This must be completed after your chapters have gone over the volunteer training with you.

• All volunteers are expected to attend a ONE-HOUR volunteer shift with their buddy on a WEEKLY basis (a limited number of absences are allowed per school term).

• After EVERY volunteer shift, volunteers must fill out the journal response form to reflect on their time with their buddy. Note: only hours recorded on the journal response form will be counted towards the certificate (more later).The journal response form can be found here:

• All volunteers are required to attend reflection meetings with their chapters EVERY OTHER WEEK to learn from their fellow volunteers and share their experiences with their buddy.

• If you have volunteered with NAB for 30 hours or more, you can request an official CERTIFICATE. Note: only the hours recorded through the journal response form on a regular basis will be counted towards the certificate. Hours that are not documented will not count.

Note: If any issue of immediate attention arises during your volunteer visits, please contact your chapter director directly.
