Ottawa Network for Education (ONFE)
About
The Ottawa Network for Education (ONFE) is a trusted connector and catalyst for student success. In partnership with all Ottawa publicly funded school boards, we deliver equitable, innovative programs that meet students where they are—from a healthy meal to start the day, to academic support, and confidence-building with hands-on learning. By uniting partners across sectors, ONFE breaks down barriers and builds brighter futures. Our focus on sustainability, future readiness, and social responsibility drives our vision: an Ottawa where all students thrive.
Mission
We fuel students and ignite learning through equitable programming, ensuring every student can grow and thrive.
Our Vision
An Ottawa where all students thrive.
Our Impact
Each school day, our School Breakfast Program provided over 22,000 students in over 200 schools with a nutritious breakfast and the chance to start their day ready to learn and on equal footing with their peers. That’s nearly 4 million meals per year that are absolutely crucial to the health and well-being of our children and youth.
Last year, Classroom Gardens taught 3,760 students from 103 Ottawa schools the value of gardening and healthy eating.
The Volunteers in Education provided learning support to 8,247 students in 105 Ottawa schools.
