Mission Statement
The Ottawa Network for Education (ONFE) gives every K-12 student in Ottawa the opportunity to succeed today, and prepare for tomorrow.
About This Cause
At the Ottawa Network for Education (ONFE) we fuel kids and ignite learning, making sure all children in Ottawa have an equal start every day. ONFE is a charitable organization that collaborates with partners from education, business, government, and the community to develop enriching programs for K-12 students. Working with the four public school boards, ONFE supports children and youth in English and French. No other community organization has the same reach and ability to respond and deliver much-needed programs to schools across the region. ONFE has 7 active programs run by teams of dedicated staff and volunteers, tackling the diverse challenges faced by Ottawa students in the areas of learning, health and well-being, and career readiness. ONFE is running programs in 76% of Ottawa schools, with 2.5 million nutritious meals, 3,000 trained volunteers, 4,000 children taught to grow their own food, 12,000 students receiving free problematic substance and technology use counselling, and over 9,000 students learning entrepreneurship and financial literacy skills – every year. ONFE needs to raise $1,000,000 and engage over 3,000 volunteers from the local community each year to run essential programs for K-12 students in Ottawa.
