Chinese Speaking Community Educators; Cantonese or Mandarin

Chinese Speaking Community Educators (Cantonese or Mandarin)

We provide programs and support services for patients, families, caregivers, and others in the San Francisco Bay Area affected by Alzheimer's disease and related disorders. Outside the federal government, the Alzheimer's Association is the largest research funder in the country and offers advocacy opportunities to make public policy change.

At the Alzheimer's Association, diversity and inclusion are vital to our mission. The Association leads strategic initiatives to support diversity and a culture of inclusivity, strengthening outreach to all populations and broadening its reach in all communities.

Community Educators are volunteer public speakers who provide education to expand the reach of Alzheimer's Association programs in the Chinese (Mandarin or Cantonese)-speaking community. They deliver the core curriculum in-person or via webinar, using prepared training materials on topics related to Alzheimer's disease and other dementias.
