Not in The Club yet?
Start with connection.
The Club is Doing Life Today’s private, ad-free community for people living with Parkinson’s and care partners. The main community is completely free to join.
“I remember how lost I felt.
Now I help others find their way.”
Experience becomes impact
Why become a
Community Connector?
Because you know what it’s like. You’ve been the newly diagnosed person. You’ve searched for answers. You’ve wished someone would simply understand.
Community Connectors turn that lived experience into purpose, belonging, agency and a legacy that reaches far beyond one conversation.
The next person should not have to do this alone. Now you can be the person who makes the connection easier.

A simple way to begin
You already have the most important qualification: lived experience.
You do not need to become an expert or take on everything at once. We give approved Connectors clear resources, practical support and a starting point that fits their interests, community and health.
Submit your application
Tell us about yourself, your community and the kinds of connections you may want to help create.
Receive conditional approval
If your application is a fit, we will email you to confirm that you are approved to begin the required onboarding.
Complete onboarding
Finish five short lessons, the knowledge check and the electronic participation agreement inside The Club.
Receive full Connector access
Once every requirement is complete, you can enter Connector HQ and begin with approved resources and support.
No quotas. No selling. No medical advice.
You contribute in a way that respects your health, energy and capacity.
Small actions. Real reach.
Choose how you make a difference.
There is no single way to be a Connector. Begin where your experience, relationships and energy can do the most good.
Help someone newly diagnosed
Point them toward trustworthy information, real community and a place where they will not feel alone.
Reach a doctor’s office
Use the approved Doctor / MDS Kit to introduce staff and patients to Doing Life Today resources.
Connect a support group
Give organizers simple materials they can share with people with Parkinson’s and care partners.
Show up in your community
Use an approved event kit to make connection visible at a local gathering, programme or conversation.
Open a local door
Introduce DLT to a trusted organization that already serves people affected by Parkinson’s.
Share what works
Bring your wins and lessons back to the network so other Connectors can learn from your experience.
Different countries. Different cultures. Different stories.
One mission.
Everywhere.
Wherever Parkinson’s takes you, connection should too. We are building a global network of Community Connectors—one community at a time.
We are not waiting for change. We are building it.

Questions, answered
What does a Connector actually do?
Who can become a Community Connector?
People living with Parkinson’s, care partners and trusted supporters who believe connection can make the road easier for someone else.
Do I need medical training?
No medical training is required. Approved applicants complete mandatory Connector training, a short knowledge check and an electronic participation agreement before receiving full Connector access. Connectors share approved information, make introductions and help people find community. They never provide medical advice.
How much time does it take?
The role is designed to meet you where you are. Small, thoughtful actions can create meaningful change.
Can I help from outside North America?
Yes. This is a worldwide movement, built one trusted local connection at a time.
Is a Connector a DLT representative?
No. Connectors are not clinicians, salespeople or regional representatives. They share approved information, make introductions and ask DLT whenever they are unsure.
Be a beacon
Someone is looking for the way forward.
You do not have to light the whole road. Just help someone find the next step.

The Club is where people find each other. Community Connectors carry that light outward.
