Be the Voice on the
Other End of the Line
CONTACT Cape-Atlantic's work is powered entirely by volunteers who give their time to make sure no one in our community faces the day alone.
Whatever time you can give, there's a place for you here.
Why Volunteer
CONTACT Cape-Atlantic wouldn't exist without the people who show up: one shift, one call, one afternoon at a time.
Your time is the support that makes our mission possible.
Volunteering here is flexible. Whether you can commit to one shift a month or several a week, there's a role that fits your schedule. Most of all, we hope you'll consider becoming a Reassurance volunteer, the heart of what we do.

Is This You?
You might be a great fit if:
You care about people and want to make a real difference in your community
You enjoy conversation and connecting with others
You can commit to one regular shift — from home or our Northfield office
Training is one-on-one, so you'll never be on your own. And because we operate 365 days a year, there's always a shift that needs a caring voice.
