Sports Day the Girls' Way Volunteer

Overview

Are YOU ready to help change the lives of 600 girls in sport!

The OSEG Foundation, in collaboration with the City of Ottawa, is excited to hold our 5th annual Sports Day the Girl’s Way, presented by Quickie.

The one-day event helps bring girls from grades 4-8 together through the community of sport! You can be a part of creating an environment where girls can gain confidence, try new sports, make friends, and connect with role models in a positive and empowering atmosphere. Participants will have the opportunity to take part in interactive and engaging workshops and activities led by female Olympians, Paralympians, and community sport leaders.
