Support Cambridge Volunteers

All gifts to Cambridge Volunteers help agencies citywide secure the people-power they need to deliver programs.

​

The COVID pandemic changed volunteerism. Our 2023 citywide survey of volunteer-dependent agencies revealed that certain programs can adapt to new volunteer expectations -- in particular, flexible scheduling and remote options -- while others cannot. Many human services programs still need regular, in-person volunteer commitments. The fallout: program staff may be further stretched to cover former volunteer roles; program capacity or quality may be diminishing; agency income may be threatened; fewer residents can be served. Cambridge Volunteers is working to understand these trends locally, and to help agencies fill their volunteer ranks.

Every gift promotes critical volunteer openings that help restore community services at least to their pre-pandemic levels -- if not even better!
