HOW IT WORKS:

Arts, music, photography
Communications and marketing
Entrepreneurship
Finance/accounting
Health and well-being
Outdoor activities (e.g., volunteer driver, gardening)
Research and writing
Skilled trades
Sports
Translation and interpretation
2. CONNECT: When you find an opportunity of interest to you, click on the ‘I’m Interested’ button to express your interest with the selected non-profit or charity. (Before submitting the form with your contact details, you must read and accept Impact Hours’ terms and conditions and privacy policy.) It is the responsibility of the non-profit or charity to acknowledge receipt of your expression of interest and to indicate any next steps and requirements (e.g., background checks). Prospective volunteers should feel free to ask questions.
3. HAVE AN IMPACT: If you and the organization both decide it’s a good fit, you will make a difference by helping a local non-profit in need of your skills and experience!

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.”
