The mission with Mall of Hope presently is to help Seniors who have been diagnosed with dementia and alzheimer's to be recognized for who they are as a person even as their memory may fade away in the health care industry. To not feel alienated in both their moments of lucidity as well as their moments of weakness. Simultaneously for seniors who are not suffering from this to also feel embraced for who they are where they came from. To not feel like they have no use in the community and forgotten by their families as well.
The Opportunity
This opportunity is majority to be done remotely and is a volunteer opportunity. In the future those who are helping now will have first dibs in a paid position later with the organization as we step out of volunteer only basis and into ability to support a small organizational staff base.
