Seeking volunteers

Volunteers built Ottawa StoryTellers and volunteers sustain it. As we prepare for our annual Ottawa Children’s Storytelling Festival / Festival du conte pour enfants d’Ottawa, November 2023, we are seeking enthusiastic and curious volunteers to join our team. 

Your contribution will enrich the lives of children and families across the region. By promoting the art of oral storytelling, you will engage people of diverse racial and socio-economic backgrounds in activities proven to promote emotional, social, and academic development.

The festival is committed to presenting the work of diverse artists and offers a balanced program of French, English, and Indigenous tellers with the help of our partners at Ottawa Public Library, Odawa Native Friendship Centre, le Cercle des Conteurs et Conteuses de l’Est de l’Ontario, Le Conseil des Écoles Catholiques Centre-Est, and Consortium Centre Jules-Léger.
