TESTIMONIAL: “Volunteering with JA Ottawa placed me in local high schools to share my entrepreneurial experience with the new generation. What I didn’t expect was how fulfilling my time has been. They’ve helped me to remember what being younger and free to make choices means. It’s enriched my life in ways I can’t even describe.”
