Make a Meaningful Difference

Volunteer With Us

Volunteering at Memory Makers isn’t just giving your time — it’s bringing joy, companionship, and creativity to people living with memory loss.

Whether you’re a student, retiree, caregiver, or simply someone with a heart for service, your presence and energy can brighten someone’s day and offer comfort to their caregivers.

Who Can Volunteer?

We welcome:

  • College & high school students
  • Retirees and community members
  • Musicians, artists, and entertainers
  • Dementia care advocates

No professional caregiving experience required, but volunteers should feel comfortable engaging with elderly individuals and working in group settings.
