We all need community — and your community needs YOU.
By donating to Cambridge Volunteers, you will be a part of the community web that connects thousands of volunteers to our 175+ incredible nonprofit partners at this critical time. Your gift helps all local organizations – including the very smallest and least resourced – connect with volunteers they cannot reach on their own.
Together with your help, we can achieve a shared purpose of building an equitable, thriving community!
Connecting volunteers with our dynamic local partners literally changes lives.

“You’re at a loss for words when someone comes into your life who makes a difference.”
— David, a Somerville-Cambridge Elder Services program participant
​​David is an older adult living alone, struggling with terrible medical anxiety, often canceling important appointments and avoiding making new ones.
Enter Raymond, a medical student who offers to accompany David to doctors’ appointments through our partner, Somerville-Cambridge Elder Services (SCES).
Raymond and David discover a shared passion for classical music, and before their next outing, Raymond plays a Beethoven sonata on David’s piano. The mini-concert becomes a pre-appointment ritual for the pair. Raymond explains, “It helps ease his anxieties so he can make it to his appointments.”
Today, David is more confident with doctors and rarely cancels appointments. This experience will shape Raymond’s medical practice for decades to come.
That is the extraordinary power of volunteerism. Please make a contribution today and be a part of this transformative magic!
