Looking for a flexible way to complete your high school volunteer hours? The OFAH Foundation is now offering Ontario high school students the opportunity to earn volunteer hours through self-paced, online, and conservation-focused modules. This program is designed to fit busy student schedules while providing the chance to make a meaningful impact on local ecosystems. Participants can earn as many as 25 volunteer hours, completed any time and from any location in the province, between April 1 and Oct. 9, 2026.
“Each module offers an in-depth learning experience that includes a virtual lesson led by an OFAH professional, a short quiz, and a hands-on action project,” OFAH Foundation Conservation Educator Sarah Dulong said. “Whether it be conducting a community clean up, exploring and recording wildlife sightings or identifying invasive species, students will gain practical experience and strengthen their connection to local environments.”
These interactive modules will help students to build valuable skills and contribute to conservation efforts across Ontario all while earning their volunteer hours.
Registration for the Virtual Volunteer Hours Program opens on Feb. 2, 2026, through the OFAH Foundation website. To participate, students must be 14 years of age or older and returning to high school the following year. For more information visit:
