hey everyone...

 

so as a University of Cincinnati students I wanted to see if you guys had any ideas on volunteer, community service projects/teams that I could get involved in. I have great faith in many of Cincinnati's urban neighborhoods, and really want to get involved in the gentrification, growth, clean-up, beautification and sustainability of these neighborhoods.

 

I am particularly interested in the Clifton/Uptown/University Hts. area because it is my home and where I spend the vast majority of my time while living in Cincinnati for school.

 

I much appreciate any ideas/input/contacts you can give me. THANKS!

Call Keep Cincinnati Beautiful.  They probably need a lot of help right now.  Ask for Robin or Linda and drop my name if you want.

just checked out their website...definitely looks like a great program. I know I've heard the name of this organization before. I definitely plan on sending an email to Linda and/or Robin to see what I can do for them and what they can do for me. thanks for the tip, michael.

Give Back Cincinnati is another great organization to look to for quality service work.  They are also YP oriented, so it is a great opportunity to network and/or meet new people.

If you are interested in the Heights area, we will be having the University Heights Great American cleanup on April 26th. I think it would be a great chance for you to help out. Look on campus for announcements within the next week.

^That is part of KCB so if you would like some more info on the cleanup, it will be posted on the site.
