VO Connect Clientele

What our clients are saying:

“I highly recommend this service [VO Connect] from Volunteer Ottawa! 10 years ago, we reached out to VO for help planning a yearly volunteer day for our team at Amdocs, and we were put in touch with the amazing fantastic team at Christie Lake Kids! Next month we will be heading up to the CLK camp for the 8th time, to help with various clean up and winterizing activities.  
 
We are forever grateful to Volunteer Ottawa for making this connection!” 

— Geof Dudding, Director of Software Services at Amdocs
