AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM THE COMMANDING OFFICER!
🚢 WE NEED YOU!
Help Us Give More Kids the Opportunity to Become Cadets! ⚓
Our Corps, like every other Navy League Corps, is powered by volunteers who believe in giving young people opportunities to learn, grow, lead, and succeed.
Right now, 60 children are on our waiting list, hoping for a chance to join. At the same time, we are losing three volunteers this year.
That means one thing: our ability to welcome these kids depends on having enough volunteers.
Our volunteers support so much more than weekly training:
⚓ Administration & supply
📚 Training & instruction
🎺 Band
🥇 Competition teams — Drill, Semaphore, Seamanship & First Aid
🤝 Community events and engagement
🏕️ Summer camp
🌟 Mentoring and developing the next generation of leaders
❤️ Be Part of Your Child’s Cadet Experience
For parents and family members, volunteering is also a wonderful opportunity to get involved, be part of your child’s journey, and see firsthand what they are learning and accomplishing.
You’ll get to see them develop confidence, teamwork, leadership, discipline, communication skills, and new friendships — often discovering abilities they didn't know they had.
And there are many ways to contribute.
You can volunteer directly with the Corps, support a specific activity, help behind the scenes, volunteer at summer camp, or get involved with the Ottawa Branch of the Navy League of Canada and help advocate for our Corps and our cadets within the community.
No experience is necessary! You don't need to be a military member, a teacher, or an expert. Detailed lesson plans and resources are provided, and our experienced team will support you along the way.
All we are looking for is someone who is:
✅ Motivated
✅ Reliable
✅ Willing to share their time or skills
✅ Interested in supporting youth
✅ Ready to be part of a dynamic team
✅ Committed to helping our Corps grow
Every volunteer makes a difference.
There are 60 young people waiting for an opportunity. With your help, we can welcome as many of them as possible.
⚓ Join us. Get involved. See your child grow. Help another young person discover what they are capable of. Advocate for our Corps.
📩 Interested in volunteering? Send the CO a message at [email protected] and let's talk about how you can get involved!
