Ottawa Branch

Based in our country’s capital, Willow Youth Network is our 4th branch. We strive to teach young people what it means to be empowered both locally and globally. Through our Clubs, we promote inclusiveness and positivity, while providing youth with the tools they need to realize their achievement!

Throughout the year, we also fundraise and host events in Ottawa and the surrounding area in order to support our local and global community.
