Volunteers
Volunteers play a critical role in helping the CHEO Foundation support the important work being done at CHEO. In addition to having a great time in your volunteer role, you will also meet new people, discover skills you never knew you had, all while helping support CHEO’s doctors, nurses and staff as they work to let every CHEO patient live their best life.
Volunteers help out in so many ways. From general office support and helping out at CHEO Foundation special events, to donning the CHEO Bear mascot costume to the delight of kids and families.
Of note, all new volunteers are asked to submit a Police Records Check. For more information visit the Ottawa Police Services website.
Here are some of the volunteer opportunities available at the CHEO Foundation:

CHEO Bear
This is a fun volunteer role for students! You can help put a smile on a child’s face by being CHEO Bear at CHEO Foundation events. We are looking for kid friendly, fun loving personalities to entertain the crowds and take photos with kids! And remember….CHEO Bear doesn’t talk; he gestures to communicate. Volunteers are expected to work 1-3 hour shifts depending on the event.
This is an ongoing volunteer role with different dates throughout the year, as required.
