Volunteer at a Music & Memory Location
Many of our most passionate advocates volunteer directly with Music & Memory-certified programs, assisting staff with maintaining equipment, creating playlists, and bringing personalized music to those in need. If you’re interested in working hands-on with individuals living with Alzheimer’s, dementia, or other cognitive challenges, this could be a great opportunity.

Become a Music & Memory Ambassador
Do you know a nursing home or care organization that hasn’t heard of Music & Memory? You can help spread the word by reaching out and sharing the life-changing benefits of personalized music. Sometimes, all it takes is one advocate to open the door.
In addition, some Music & Memory programs were affected by the pandemic and are still slow to restart, leaving residents without access to the comfort and connection of personalized music. You can play a key role in revitalizing these services and ensuring more individuals benefit from the power of music.
