Secondhand Stories Chicken SanctuaryFour steps, zero paperwork.
From finding a shift to handing your counsellor a record they can check.
Find a shift
Browse local Ottawa organizations and sign up for a session that fits your schedule.
Show up
Just show up when your shift starts. That's all you need to do.
Get verified
The org marks you as attended. Your hours are locked in, no signature-chasing.
Export your record
Download a verified record whenever your school or university asks for it.
The organization that hosts you confirms your hours. You can’t self-report. That’s what makes the record credible to schools and universities. And it doesn’t stop at 40: a verified volunteer record is exactly what university and scholarship applications ask for.
Searching finds a phone number. It can’t confirm you showed up.
You could find volunteer work on your own. Here’s what that actually looks like.
Doing it yourself
- Search "volunteer opportunities ottawa"
- Find a listing that hasn’t been updated in years
- Email and wait for a reply
- Track your hours in a notes app and hope it’s enough
