We have over 300 people with disabilities in Ottawa who are feeling isolated and alone, wishing they had a volunteer friend and advocate through our organization. Most of them will have to wait two and a half years to be matched. Will you help one person to get off of our waiting list?
Being a volunteer advocate is convenient, flexible, and rewarding. We match people one-on-one, who live in locations convenient to each other, and with similar interests and shared activities. You spend time with your match, with the possibility of also including your family and friends. You get together three or four times a month at your convenience, and do what friends do: go for coffee, take a walk, or get out to an event. This can have a huge impact in the life of someone with a disability who is feeling isolated and alone.
As a volunteer you need to be over the age of 18 and make a minimum commitment of 12 months to this role [Note: your status in Canada may affect your ability to make this commitment e.g. visitor visa, student visa, refugee claimant]. Preparation and ongoing support are provided.

CPAWS Ottawa Valley (CPAWS-OV) is a small not for profit organization based in Gatineau with a mandate to protect nature in the broader Ottawa River watershed region of both Quebec and Ontario. We work to establish new parks and other types of protected areas, ensure existing parks, like Gatineau Park or Algonquin Park, are well managed while also looking to protect and restore connections which exist across the landscape that allow for the movement of species. We also firmly believe in connecting Canadians, in particular, youth to nature through education programs.
We are seeking a volunteer to help us update our communications plan (developed in 2016) with a view to help us engage more people and to raise awareness of conservation issues in the region. We currently have no staff dedicated exclusively to communications and we feel it is unlikely that we would fill this void in the next year. We would like to learn how other small organizations manage their communications and identify best practices which may be applicable to CPAWS-OV. The ideal volunteer should have some experience in the field of communications or marketing, media or journalism or a keen interest in social media and engagement. We expect this opportunity to represent a commitment of less than 6 months. While the current opportunity relates to an update of the current communications strategy, we would welcome a volunteer with an interest in helping to implement the strategy in the longer term.
