The Consumer Advocate helps seniors, veterans and other consumers who are seeking fair play from businesses. The Advocate represents Cape Cod and Islands consumers in mediating their complaints against merchants locally, nationally and globally. Each Volunteer is full trained. No previous experience is required. Once trained, the Consumer Advocate will respond to consumers, gather information, and then contact the merchant in an effort to make the consumer whole. We are looking for volunteers who can offer 3-hours once per week to help people in need. We have a congenial team of retired and semi-retired volunteers who are dedicated to helping others.
