Urgent Volunteer Opportunities

Weekly Weeders

We are currently looking for a group of volunteers to help keep O-YA's gardens looking great!  If you can find an hour a week to help week the gardens and help keep the patio clear we would welcome your support.

We also have a "pull 2 weeds" idea for those visiting the centre.  Every time you walk in, please pull 2 weeds (or more) to help keep the centre looking inviting and beautiful!

Community Action Day - October 7th, 2010

On October 7th we are painting O-YA and we need some extra hands.  The City of Ottawa has generously donated all the paint, brushes, drop-cloths etc, and we are going to make O-YA very cool.  Over this year the young people have told us that one of their pet peeves with the centre is the colour...we listened, and we are changing the look.

We are looking for 5 to 10 volunteers to join the corporate team from OLG who are generously donating their time that day.  We want to show them what a great community spirit we have with our amazing volunteers who support the centre. 

If you can help us, please email oya-nicole@rogers.com for details.

Thank you!  Without our volunteers, O-YA could not exist.  BIG THANKS!
