Ottawa Volunteers In Education

Our volunteers are passionate, dedicated and committed to student success.

Volunteering to help a student is one of the most fulfilling ways to be part of your community. At the Ottawa Network for Education (ONFE), we know that caring members of the community, of all ages and cultures, can make an immense contribution to children in our schools.

Ottawa Volunteers in Education (OVIE) provides a matching service to link community volunteers with the needs of individual students and teachers in participating school boards. The school boards we participate with are the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board, Conseil des écoles catholiques du Centre-Est and Conseil des écoles publiques de l’Est de l’Ontario. For details regarding the Francophone volunteer program, see Bénévoles dans l’éducation d’Ottawa.

Sharing your passion for a career or hobby can influence a child's career aspirations. The list goes on…
