Volunteers are an essential part of our success as an organization. With your help and contribution, we will continue to develop vibrant communities free of stigma while fostering the inclusion of people living with dementia, their families, neighbours, coworkers, and care partners.
AST welcomes volunteers of all ages and skill levels to help throughout the year. Whether you are looking to support clients directly through our recreation programs, take part in the short-term event and fundraising support, looking to increase community awareness, or assist with administrative tasks, we would love to hear from you!
