Every child deserves to start their school day prepared to take on the world.
At the Ottawa Network for Education, we strive to ensure that all children in Ottawa have the nutrition, wellbeing, and learning support they need to succeed.
We achieve this by collaborating with Ottawa’s four public school boards and with local community partners to develop essential programs for Ottawa’s K-12 students.
Through our OttawaReads and Volunteers in Education programs, we remove barriers to learning by matching trained volunteers with teachers and students that need extra help.
Through our School Breakfast Program, Classroom Gardens and step for Youth in Schools and Community Coalition programs, we identify and provide solutions to serious problems that affect wellness and academic achievement, including student hunger, inadequate nutrition, and problematic substance and technology use.
Through our JA Ottawa program, we help secondary students make informed career choices and transition successfully to post-secondary studies and fulfilling careers.
We do all this and more, and we do it because every child deserves the community it should take to raise them.
We are thankful you are here, because we could use your support.
Our goal over the next few years is to increase the reach of our programs, so that no children are left out, and all youth benefit from our valuable work.
We would like to keep you apprised of our progress, so that you are always informed on new opportunities to support Ottawa’s children and youth, and so that you can also help us spread the word.

In the end, we want every parent, guardian, and resident in Ottawa to know that they have a partner in ONFE; that against the unnerving backdrop of a rapidly and ever-changing world, we will always be there to support Ottawa’s children and youth.
We are here.
We are ONFE.
