Join Us and Show You Care
We’re looking for caring, compassionate people like you, who want to give something back to their community. If you truly want to help make someone’s life better as they cope with a serious illness, consider volunteering with Capital Caring.
Capital Caring’s volunteers are core members of our care teams. They are diverse, springing from all walks of life, and each person brings special skills that improve our ability to offer excellent care. No matter what type of skill you have to offer, you’ll work side by side with inspiring and deeply caring people. We hope you consider joining us today.
Capital Caring would not exist without our volunteers, not only because they play such a vital role in our daily operations, but also as a matter of historical fact. The organization was founded in 1977 by a group of dedicated volunteers, deeply commited to making a profound and positive impact in our community.
