Volunteer Opportunities
VegOttawa Association is operated entirely by volunteers, which means volunteer support is always needed! Volunteers are the backbone of everything we do, and we welcome new volunteers throughout the year.
VegOttawa Fest
Planning and hosting a festival is no small feat! We are looking for volunteers to help us plan the 2027 event. Send us an email if you’re able to assist!
Help Host a Series of Community Breakfasts
VegOttawa is partnering with the Centretown Community Health Centre to host some Welcome Breakfasts for community members (newcomers and seniors) who are facing social/economic barriers. We’ll need help gathering ingredients, preparing and serving the meals, setup and cleanup.
