Volunteer with the SSO

Volunteer Director James Obi

By James Obi

The Scottish Society of Ottawa (SSO) is powered entirely by volunteers. Every concert, ceilidh, festival, and Hogmanay celebration happens because of people like you. When you volunteer, you’re not just lending a hand — you’re becoming part of a community that celebrates culture, friendship, and fun.

Volunteering with SSO is a chance to:

  • Meet new people and be part of a welcoming team.

  • Share your skills — or learn new ones.

  • Play a direct role in bringing Scottish culture to life in Ottawa.

  • Experience events from the “inside,” where the energy and teamwork make it extra special.

No matter your skills, there’s a place for you at Hogmanay! Interested: Hogmanay Tasks

Email us at volunteer@ottscot.ca to sign up or ask questions about other opportunities throughout the year.

Come join the team — together, we’ll make our events unforgettable
