Volunteer
The number of Ontarians with dementia is expected to increase by 40% in the next decade. The human costs and the costs to our health-care system will be enormous. We really could not do what we do to support people with dementia, and raise money to find a cure, without volunteers.
OUR STRENGTH LIES IN OUR VOLUNTEERS
Volunteers are vital to Alzheimer Society of Windsor & Essex County (ASWE).

Without volunteers, many programs and services offered by our organization simply would not exist.

Orientation and training are provided based on requirements of the volunteer positions. Long-term, short-term, event, and project-based volunteer positions are available.
