In order to become a volunteer, attend two virtual 2-hour training and certification sessions with SJFS staff on the basics of dementia, the philosophy of OMA (an award-winning intergenerational art-making program for people with dementia), and methods and skills for facilitating OMA and other arts-in-dementia activities. Part 1 training must be completed before attending a Part 2 training session; however, Part 2 can be completed in a subsequent month. Both parts must be completed before volunteering.

Training times each month will be determined based on the availability of the SJFS Arts & Minds coordinator and those that are interested in being trained.
