The Group's Purpose
Ability First Ottawa is a team of volunteers, DSWs, SSWs, accountants, business professionals, RNs, RPNs, and youth who donate time to assist others!
We provide support, care, and acceptance to the client and families we serve in living a normal life. Engaging them in social activities, supporting them into employment, and providing the tools and resources to grow and achieve their full potential.
How to Help
Simple.....volunteer and donate!
If you have time, come and join us. If you have financial donations this is amazing!
Our main ask currently is for any used, but functioning PC, laptop, desktop, monitors, ipads, chrome books, PC cameras, etc.
We have a technical team who have donated time to bringing any equipment up to speed so we can provide to clients to allow them to stay interactive during the pandemic.
