Outside OCDSB

 

Volunteer Expo is a free in-person event where people interested in volunteering can speak with representatives from local charities and non-profits to learn more about opportunities to

volunteer with them. The event on May 23 is from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm in the Rideau Hub Cafeteria, 815 St. Laurent Boulevard, just inside the front doors.  

 

This is a great opportunity for high school students starting on their community service requirement, seniors and retirees looking for something to do, newcomers to Ottawa who want to get

to know their new community, and anyone else interested in volunteering.
