Volunteer Opportunities

You can help a child gain a new skill, overcome a challenge, and succeed in school.

At ONFE, we want to design a volunteer placement that matches your interests and helps local students to accomplish more. So if you’re keen to share your skills, knowledge, and experience to make a meaningful contribution in your community, we want to know! There are many ways to get involved with ONFE.
