Education Support and Community Outreach

Are you interested in volunteering your time or donating to the community?

Do you want to make a difference in a child's life?

OCRI has been a recognized leader in developing innovative educational programs since its inception in 1984. OCRI works with over 100 partners in Ottawa community, including the local school boards, colleges and universities, to deliver programs that support student learning at all levels, from kindergarten to PhD.

Many of our initiatives provide direct service to Ottawa area elementary and secondary schools. Other programs benefit schools, colleges and universities.

Through the Ottawa-Carleton Learning Foundation (OCLF), the charitable arm of OCRI, we channel funding, volunteers, and other resources to schools in the Ottawa region to support students in need.
