John Howard Society Ottawa
Non-profit Organizations
The John Howard Society of Ottawa is to provide services that prevent crime, reduce poverty and build self-sufficiency.
About us
For more than 90 years, we’ve worked to keep the humanity in justice. Today we continue to build a safer Ontario by supporting the people and communities affected by the criminal justice system. Our 19 local offices deliver more than 80 evidence-based programs and services focused on prevention, intervention and re-integration across the province. These range from helping youth develop the life skills that will let them achieve their full potential, to helping families navigate issues of criminal justice, to providing job training for those leaving incarceration so they can contribute to their community in a meaningful way. We promote practical, equitable policies while raising awareness of the root causes of crime and calling on Ontarians to share responsibility for addressing them. Within the system itself, we advocate for the fair treatment of every individual. Each year, our work impacts the lives of more than 100,000 Ontarians.

Windrose Supportive Housing provides semi-independent living to young women in Ottawa between the ages of 16-24 experiencing homelessness, criminalization, and exploitation. Our youth come to us after experiencing a lifetime of trauma, and it’s our goal this year to provide them with the most loving holiday season. Please scan the QR code or use the link below to check out our holiday wishlist in order for us to make this goal happen! https://lnkd.in/ec5d7Abg Thank you so much!

With counseling, practical assistance, and community resources, these programs empower young people to rebuild their lives and achieve a brighter future. 💬 Share this post, 💖 support our work, or 🔗 visit the link in our bio to learn more and take action.

We love our non-profit colleagues throughout Ottawa, and their amazing contributions to our community. Also, we won! 😆 🏆 Big win alert! 🏆 Our JHS Ottawa team just took home our first-ever softball championship title! After going undefeated (3-0) in the round robin, we powered through the semi-final against The Ottawa Mission and triumphed over Shepherds of Good Hope in a thrilling 11-7 final. 🎉 From Ross (our “Babe Ruth” of softball!) and David’s MVP catch—despite a daring slide right through some doggie “leftovers”—to cartwheels courtesy of Coach Riley, every player brought their A-game. With 57 runs scored, it was a day full of laughter, teamwork, and community spirit. Here’s to many more! 🥎💙 #JHSOttawa #SoftballChampions #CommunitySpirit #FirstChampionship The Ottawa Mission Shepherds of Good Hope
