Volunteer Opportunity with The Caring and Sharing Exchange

If you are participating in the upcoming Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend, you can help by doing one of the following options:

• Choose the Green Bib option and donate your medal cost to Sharing in Student Success

• Start a fundraising page: https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/runforstudentsuccess 

You can let us know your plans by completing this form: https://forms.gle/JFUYQPbprkQojaEt8 

From there, our team will cheer them on and ensure the necessary volunteer forms that are completed after their race.

Volunteer with the Caring and Sharing Exchange by WRITING POSITIVE NOTES FOR BACKPACKS:

As part of our Sharing in Student Success Program, we love providing our families with little surprises and one of these surprises is a positive note of encouragement in every backpack. 

We anticipate packing over 7,000 backpacks this summer and would appreciate help in making positive notes for backpacks. 

When creating these positive notes, volunteers should keep the following in mind:

• Notes should be no larger than a postcard

• No glitter

• No offensive images/drawings/stickers

• Messages should not include any references to gender, religion, and/or politics  

Creating the positive notes is a volunteering activity that can be completed at home. Volunteers are expected to use their own materials to make these notes.

Once a volunteer has completed their notes, they can contact referrals@caringandsharing.ca to arrange a drop off. Once we receive the notes, we will ensure the necessary volunteer forms are completed.
