JCA's Kensington Clubs will be hosting a one hour zoom talk called How to Be a Dementia Friend. Dementia Friends Montgomery County will lead the lesson on Monday, March 2nd, from 3 PM - 4 PM. Join us to:
• Learn about Alzheimer’s and other types of dementia.
• Recognize the signs of dementia.
• Discover tips for communicating and interacting with a person who has dementia.
• Establish tips for creating a dementia-friendly physical space.
By completing the session, you will help heighten awareness of dementia in the community and be equipped to respond warmly and effectively when interacting with people living with dementia and their families.
2 SSL hours will be granted
after attending the Zoom session and producing a reflection piece that can be used in the agency newsletter or other materials. Both components must be completed to get any SSL hours.

Please note the following guidelines for student service through live virtual platforms:
- A student’s parent/guardian must provide the nonprofit with the written approval of the student’s participation in the virtual platform prior to the student serving/volunteering.
- Students must use personal/private accounts (not MCPS student accounts) to engage in the virtual platform.
- Students will only engage with others under the direct supervision of a nonprofit supervisor. The nonprofit supervisor will be directly present in the virtual space (including any breakout sessions) at all times.
- The nonprofit supervisor will initiate and host all virtual sessions. If the nonprofit supervisor is not available to initiate and host the virtual session, the session will not occur.
- Virtual sessions will not be recorded.
Student participation in this service project is at the discretion of the student’s parent/guardian. The nonprofit organization is responsible for maintaining student safety and privacy at any time the student is interacting with the nonprofit and its clients. The nonprofit organization will determine the number of SSL hours awarded based on the evidence submitted. Parents/guardians should contact the nonprofit directly with any questions and/or concerns. This service activity is designed to be completed within the safety of the student’s home.
