Volunteer Profile:
Volunteers in Education Demographics
The Volunteers in Education program links community volunteers with students and teachers in schools across the community. On average, over 1,500 retirees, university students, new Canadians and others volunteer approximately 133,000 hours in local schools—a dollar value of over 1.2 million dollars. OCRI recruits, screens and trains volunteers, then matches them to schools that need their specific talents.
