Now recruiting volunteers for September!
In 2005-06 the Ontario government initiated the Student Success Program within secondary schools as one response to the severe drop-out rate of high school students.
Ottawa Volunteers in Education (OVIE) has received requests from Ottawa high schools to recruit community volunteers interested in providing tutoring support (under the direction of teachers) to individual students in their Math, English, Science or History Credit Recovery Program. Most of these students, many of whom are new Canadians, respond very well to working with a tutor on a weekly basis.
We are looking for volunteers who can help them focus, explain concepts as they work, assist them in organizing materials, and provide encouragement as they progress in all subjects.
A RECENT POLICE BACKGROUND CLEARANCE TO SERVICE THE VULNERABLE SECTOR IS REQUIRED FOR ALL VOLUNTEER POSITIONS.

Ottawa Volunteers In Education (OVIE) is the only centralized, multi-board school volunteer program in Canada that addresses the increasing demands and declining resources that are part of our public education, while fostering stronger community linkages.
More than 1,500 seniors, university students, retirees, New Canadians and other members of our communities are meaningfully engaged in elementary, intermediate and high school curriculums in either official language within the Ottawa region.
Matched to a school of their choice volunteers work with individual students or in small groups under the direction of a teacher.
The Ottawa Volunteers in Education Program enriches and enhances a student\'s learning experience. The program brings together volunteers, schools and students illustrating the spirit of collaboration.
