helping families in ottawa, canada become self-sufficient contributing members of society
Volunteers are an integral part of the Youville Centre. They can be found working up front or behind the scenes. Our volunteers are all ages, energetic and enthusiastic.
Youville volunteers bring their expertise from all walks of life and offer their talents to help our young mothers. Without them, Youville could not manage to meet the daily needs of our mothers and their children.
Please download, save and complete our Volunteer Application Form. When you have done so, email it to us, or fax it to (613) 231-5150 or bring it to the Centre in person. After your application has been reviewed, you will be contacted to discuss volunteer possibilities. Our application form is available in two formats:. If you'd prefer to fill out the form electronically and then send it to us by email, choose the MS Word format. If you'd rather work with a printed copy that you can complete with a pen before sending it to us by postal mail or fax, then choose the PDF format instead. |

As we have for over two decades, once again we thank our long-standing and recent volunteers, folks who give so generously of their time, energy and talents to support our work at Youville. We are indebted to all of our volunteers whether regular or occasional; individual or group; on front lines or behind the scenes; working with Moms, children or staff; in our building or off site; providing services or goods- we couldn't manage without you. Your generosity and selfless service to our young families make our work so much more effective. Thank you from everyone at Youville! You are proof that it takes a village to raise a child. All of our children, infant and adolescent, join in our chorus of thanks to each andevery one of you!
