Volunteer training and resources

OJEN is thankful for the many volunteers who generously give their time to support public legal education for young people in Ontario.

OJEN provides professional development and training in justice education for teachers, youth workers, legal professionals, and other community stakeholders in a variety of ways. Our training is based on respect and appreciation for all of our partners. OJEN doesn’t try to teach teachers how to teach better. We don’t tell youth workers how to relate to youth. But, we do provide tools, ideas, expertise, questions, and conversations that will help you to help young people learn about the legal system.

We ask that all volunteers review our Code of Conduct before engaging in any OJEN program.

• OJEN volunteer orientation for classroom programs
• OJEN volunteer orientation for community programs
• Guidelines for better legal workshops
• Facilitator training

If you are interested in volunteering to either facilitate or be the legal expert on an OJEN project, please sign up for the OJEN Dialogue newsletter and email updates. We post volunteer opportunities and recruitment calls through this email subscription list.

We will announce new volunteer training and resources on X, Linkedin, Facebook, Instagram, and the OJEN blog.
