Volunteers play a crucial part in the daily life of MAX. The diversity of experiences and knowledge they bring make it possible to achieve our mission. Our volunteers are facilitators, coaches, board directors, community MAXimizers, advisors, ambassadors, educators, advocates, and fundraisers, and more!

MAX Ottawa is committed to removing barriers to its recruitment processes. Any requests for accommodation should be sent to maxvolunteers@maxottawa.ca and will be treated confidentially.

Anyone qualified is welcome to apply. As part of our commitment to equity, indigenization, diversity,  inclusion, anti-racism and anti-oppression, we especially encourage applications from queer, trans and non-binary people, Indigenous, Black and people of colour (BIPOC) individuals, Two-Spirit people, people living with HIV, people living with Hepatitis C, disabled people, people living at the intersection of these identities, and their allies. MAX Ottawa acknowledges that not everyone is able to publicly disclose these identities, and these roles do not require them to disclose such identities in the course of their work.
