Volunteer involvement with BGC Ottawa is essential to ensure the effective delivery of our programs. Our volunteer opportunities are designed to create an experience that is rewarding to the volunteer. Volunteers gain valuable experience and develop their personal skill set, all while making a meaningful difference in the lives of children and youth in Ottawa.
