Mission: The Ottawa Volunteers in Education (OVIE) program, part of the Ottawa Network for Education (ONFE), brings volunteers from the community to schools to help educators ensure academic success for their students.
OVIE recruits, screens, trains, and places community volunteers in schools, and screens parents volunteering in “high risk” activities, then match them to schools that need their specific talents.

Volunteer Position Description: You have a passion for plants, growing and learning, our students need you!
We need volunteers to help and support our Ottawa Carleton District School Board (OCDSB) students with our Classroom Gardens program.
This hands-on, cross-curricular indoor school gardening program helps students to learn how to grow healthy food and how to use it for better nutrition. Volunteer tasks will vary depending on the needs of the particular school. You can help by watering, taking care of the plants and our tower gardens and ultimately by supporting the well-being of our students.

Volunteers are needed for September. All volunteers require screening and a cleared Vulnerable Sectors Police Check.

Volunteer Requirements:

  • Police Record Check

How to Apply: If interested, please contact Anne Brouillard at abrouillard@onfe-rope.ca or apply online here.
