The Town of Cobourg is pleased to pilot Get Involved Cobourg!, an initiative based on the Service Ballots* model.

The short, voluntary form below is a way for you to tell us which volunteer and civic opportunities interest you. You can choose to hear about roles ranging from helping at a community event to serving on an advisory committee.

While elections give us a chance to choose our local leaders, there are many ways to contribute to your community beyond election day. Through this pilot, you can tell us how you’d like to get involved. Whether you have skills to share, a cause you care about or a few hours to spare, there’s a way to make a difference.

*Service Ballots are an initiative of MASS Civic Innovation Labs.
