A new cohort sworn in at West Barnstable
Twenty AmeriCorps Cape Cod members were sworn in October 28, 2026, at West Barnstable Community Center, according to the county’s November 2 announcement. The ceremony marked the beginning of the program’s Year 28 cohort.
Members will work with 34 partner organizations on longer-term projects and undertake shorter group assignments with towns, nonprofits and public agencies. Their service year ends in August 2027. The work includes managing natural resources, environmental education, preparing for and responding to disasters, and coordinating volunteers.
The announcement describes the incoming cohort’s planned service; it does not report completed projects or assign a new crew to every town.
How local organizations can propose work
The program’s separate Service Project Application page identifies a Year 28 proposal form and contacts for scheduling group service. It divides enquiries among Upper Cape, Mid-Cape and Outer Cape supervisors.
Bourne, Sandwich, Falmouth and Mashpee fall under the Upper Cape contact. Barnstable, Yarmouth, Dennis, Harwich and Brewster use the Mid-Cape contact. Chatham through Provincetown are listed with the Outer Cape supervisor. Use that official page to describe a proposed project and discuss its timing. A proposal is a request for service, not a confirmed booking or a promise that members can take on the work.
