Our mission is to bring teenagers and adults with and without disabilities together for projects of mutual interest.  We have proudly offered continuing education classes, service projects and theatrical plays to the community for the last 30 years.  

This workshop is a follow up to our ongoing Local Writers and Local Poets classes.  We will spend about 90 minutes developing your pieces of writing that you have already begun in class or at home.  This is a great way to put pen to paper or finger to keyboard and revise and enhance a story that you have started previously in our workshops.  After having finished memoir writing, we are slowly working on developing our second piece of writing, which is focused on world buiding.  Anyone is welcome – just know that this is primarily a workshop to get writing time (and not a class on writing).

Volunteers will work with participants with disabilities to facilitate getting words to paper and brainstorming ideas as well as participating in the class.

To help you, and our participants to get the most of the experience, volunteers are asked to read our volunteer handout prior to attending an event.

Enrichment is an important part of animal care at CAC, it helps to keep our dogs from getting bored and keeps their body and minds active. Enrichment serves as the fun and engaging items that our dogs get to play with while in their kennels including kongs, lick mats, pupsicles and more! Enrichment engages a dog's mind and senses to help reduce stress and overall leads to better mental and physical health... in a shelter environment this is especially crucial! During a shift volunteers will help with a variety of tasks including: prepping enrichment items, distributing enrichment items into or on kennels, cleaning or putting away enrichment items, cleaning or organizing the enrichment room.

This opportunity occurs at both Colerain and Dane.

We are building out indoor aquaponic gardens to grow healthy food for our community of Northside. Please help us care for existing gardens, learn how to use aquaponics for food production, help grow food for this food desert/food swamp and support the health of Northside.

Would you like to make a difference in an inner city neighborhood in Cincinnati? We're helping seniors who can't keep up with the work needed around their houses. We need volunteers to paint, clean out brush, and perform basic repairs inside and outside homes in Avondale.  No experience is necessary, just a willing heart and helping hands!

Please dress in older clothes because you'll get messy!  

Where: Meet at Compassionate Justice Ministry Center, 3494 Reading Road, Cincinnati, OH 45229. 

Enter in the back of the building by the parking lot.  

Contact Kimbra with any questions: ktribble@cj.church

 Lunch is provided!

Inclement Weather Plan: We work in any weather as long as the roads are safe to travel.

Hours for all officers to submit in one place. 

Helping at the org fair

We are a fair trade non-profit retail organization and we are hoping to launch our first e-commerce site with Shopify asap but have run into an issue. We have two store locations and currently the site allows customers to add products from both stores into their cart, but then they cannot check out because some items are only available at one store. We need someone to write code that forces them to choose a store to shop from and only allows them to shop from that store's inventory. Having this website will allow us to reach more customers than ever and help support more artisans around the world with fair wages.

Are you a healthcare student or someone passionate about making a direct impact on the well-being of others?  Join our Foot Care for the Souls program and help care for the most vulnerable in Greater Cincinnati. This unique program provides essential foot care, including cleaning, foot massages and distributing new socks and shoes, to individuals experiencing homelessness and marginalization - people who often spend long hours on their feet.

Why Volunteer?  As a volunteer, you'll have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in a healthcare setting while building personal connections with those who need special care. Foot health is critical for those facing housing insecurity, and your work will make a significant difference in their daily lives.

What You'll Do: 

Training and Support: You don't need prior medical experience - comprehensive training will be provided during your first sessions, ensuring you're comfortable and confident before caring for clients independently. An experienced nurse practitioner oversees the program and is available for support and additional guidance.

Details:

This is a meaningful way to gain real-world healthcare experience while serving the community. We welcome volunteers who are passionate about health and making a difference!

Peace Corps Volunteers and host community partners advance and embody our mission, values, and three goals in communities around the globe. We invite you to learn more about the Peace Corps and how we promote human connection across cultures and make a lasting impact.

Volunteers exchange skills and knowledge with community members to help create sustainable change through work in six sectors—Agriculture, Community Economic Development, Education, Environment, Health, and Youth in Development.

Through their service, Volunteers share America and its values, while also learning about local cultures, opportunities, resources, and people in their host countries.

Volunteers immerse themselves in local cultures and share their experiences when they return home with family, friends, and the public. This helps promote cultural understanding, volunteerism, and public service.

Do you enjoy research and want to make a real difference in your community right from home? Join us as a Volunteer Researcher for Ways to Connect, a national crowdsourced directory of volunteer platforms.

Many people want to volunteer but struggle to find the right entry points—especially in smaller towns or underserved areas. At the same time, local volunteer centers and grassroots groups often go unnoticed due to low visibility. Ways to Connect bridges this gap by helping people discover the best local websites, service clubs, and networks already in place.

As a Volunteer Researcher, your work will directly improve the visibility of these resources, making it easier for neighbors to find meaningful ways to give back. So far, volunteer researchers have helped us identify over 2,500 resources in 330+ communities across the US.

Grab a few friends and join us in cleaning our community!

When you arrive to 2728 Short Vine St., you will check-in, grab a provided trash grabber, and either a bucket or a trash bag to collect any trash found. After you check-in, you will need to watch a safety video made by UCPD police officers. You will not be permitted to volunteer until after you watch the safety video. 

Choose any area in the surrounding community to get started! You can clean up near the check-in site in Corryville—or you can make your way to a place a little further away. This option could be useful if you want to clean-up the pathway that you usually take to class, or if you'd like to clean somewhere where you typically spend a lot of time.

Make sure to arrive with enough time to finish the clean up! We suggest giving yourself one hour—at least—to check-in, clean, and check-out. All supplies will need to be checked back in to 2728 Short Vine St. at 5:50pm. The opportunity ends at 6:00pm, but to allow time for check-out, please arrive at 5:50pm. The opportunity starts at 3:00pm, but feel free to arrive any time before 5:00pm. You will most likely get turned away if you arrive after 5:00pm because there will not be enough time to complete the clean up in that timeframe.

How are my volunteer hours determined?

** If you do not completely fill your bucket/bag, the hours awarded for

your service will be decided by the event organizer. **

Since the event is 3 hours long, 3 hours is displayed below. Volunteer hours only follow the guidelines outlined above.

If you're participating with a group, the total trash collected will be divided amongst the total number of group members.

Preparing for your Community Clean-Up:

Working in groups/pairs is strongly encouraged! The "Buddy System" will...

We are continuing our brand new role playing game. Our group of 6-10 participants play Call of Cthulhu on a semi-monthly basis.  Call of Cthulhu is an interactive role playing game similar to Dungeons and Dragons.   No previous experience is required, but bring your imagination as we breathe life into fictional characters living in this early 20th century world.

We are welcoming new players who have either played Dungeons and Dragons before, or are committed to learning with us, AND participating in all sessions this semester. 

Due to the creative, interactive and on-going nature of role-playing, (sessions build upon each other) it is recommended that volunteers do NOT sign up if they plan to attend only one time.  

Volunteers will play alongside and facilitate play with adults with cognitive and physical disabilities.

To help you, and our participants to get the most of the experience, volunteers are asked to read our volunteer handout prior to attending an event.

Saturday Hoops is a free group mentoring program of Cincinnati Youth Collaborative that strives to make a safe space for kids (ages 3-18) on Saturdays for them to learn new things, meet new friends, and develop skills that will help them become future leaders. We create this opportunity by providing food (breakfast and lunch) and doing activities such as basketball, soccer, arts and crafts, reading, yoga, football, workouts, and so much more. We also establish this safe space by having our volunteers promote a positive environment and demonstrating our core themes to students (Cheerful Giver, Hard Worker, Overcomer, and Good Steward). Join us in connecting with kids every Saturday from 9:30 am to 12:30 at one of our locations (Avondale, West End, Winton Hills, and at Zielger Park during the Summer).
