Starting This Week: Better Body Bootcamp August Session

Teen Take Over BBQ

Do you need volunteer hours for high school or know a teen who does?


CAG's Teen Take Over BBQ is the perfect opportunity to collect volunteer hours and give back to the Old Ottawa East community!

Teens and tweens are both invited to sign up for this opportunity. Plus, students going into Grade 9 this fall can get a head start by collecting volunteer hours this summer.


Our teen/tween volunteers will help run the event on August 14, and can also sign up to help plan the BBQ in advance, with guidance and support from CAG staff and adult volunteers.


Volunteers who are interested in planning the BBQ will learn about the behind-the-scenes of hosting a community event. Then they'll work together to make the BBQ their own!


More details will be shared upon registration. If you are interested in helping to plan the BBQ in advance, we ask that you please sign up by Friday Aug 8 at 4:00pm.
