Volunteer Placements

OCH is pleased to partner with local schools, colleges and universities to provide volunteer opportunities that are aligned with students’ areas of study so that students can experience how the knowledge and skills they are learning in the classroom apply in the ‘real world’.  At the same time, students learn more about how they can continue to contribute to positive change in their community.

If you are interested in volunteering with OCH on an occasional or regular basis, please e-mail volunteer@och.ca for more information.
