Volunteer

Volunteer. Connect. Have Some Fun While You’re at It.

Looking to add something meaningful to your week, along with a few smiles and good conversations?
Volunteering at The Good Companions is a great way to give back, meet new people, and be part of a community that genuinely cares.

A few hours with us can mean a lot.

When you volunteer, you help:

• Older adults (55+) stay active, connected, and engaged
• Caregivers feel supported, knowing their loved ones are in good company
• Our programs grow and reach more people across Ottawa

Who’s volunteering with us?

• Adults 55+ looking for connection, purpose, and community
• People who enjoy meeting others and being part of something positive
• Folks who like staying active, social, and involved

At The Good Companions, inclusion isn’t just a statement, it’s a practice. We are committed to creating a space that is welcoming, respectful, and free from discrimination. Everyone is valued here, regardless of background, identity, ability, or lived experience. We believe strong communities are built when people feel safe, seen, and respected.

Volunteering here is about more than tasks, it’s about people. Whether you’re welcoming guests at reception, helping serve a meal, lending a hand at an event, supporting a program, or helping behind the scenes, you’ll be making a real difference, and probably having a few laughs along the way.
