Worcester Area Memory Cafe Volunteer

Description | The Worcester Area Memory Café meets once a month, the third Tuesday of each month from 2:00 pm—3:30 pm at the Worcester Senior Center. The Memory Café is for individuals with memory loss along with their caregivers, and/or friends and family in a safe, supportive, engaging environment. It is a time to socialize, enjoy a program, activity or entertainment, and spend time in a judgement free zone with others experiencing similar journeys. The goal is to make every guest feel as comfortable and welcome as possible. Volunteer assistance is needed 1/2 hour prior through clean-up (1:30pm-4:00pm.) Memory Café Volunteers assist the Memory Café Staff with decorating tables, welcoming and socializing with guests, helping with activities and clean up. Though experience with Alzheimer’s/Dementia is not necessary, volunteers must possess patience and a calm demeanor. Training on the disease is provided to all new volunteers. Volunteers receive complimentary snacks during their shift. |
