Mindfulness practices have long been embedded in many Asian cultures as tools for grounding, emotional regulation, and self-awareness. These traditions were often passed down through generations as everyday practices rather than formal exercises. In today’s academic environment, students frequently balance rigorous coursework, work obligations, cultural adjustment, and emotional stress. For international students and those from immigrant families, these pressures can be compounded by language barriers, cultural expectations, and identity navigation. Our organization recognizes the importance of culturally rooted wellness practices that honor these experiences without adding additional strain. This mindfulness initiative is designed to support students in integrating moments of calm into their existing routines. The practice emphasizes intention over perfection and consistency over intensity. Above all, this program frames mindfulness as both a personal wellness tool and a culturally meaningful tradition.

Participants may begin by sitting comfortably or standing upright in a quiet space, keeping the spine relaxed but aligned. Attention should be gently placed on the natural rhythm of the breath, without attempting to control or change it. When thoughts arise, participants are encouraged to notice them without judgment and return focus to breathing. This practice emphasizes presence and patience, allowing calm to develop gradually rather than forcing relaxation.

Participants may choose a short calming word, sound, or phrase and repeat it silently or softly while maintaining steady breathing. The repetition should be slow and rhythmic, aligning with natural inhalation and exhalation. The focus is on the sound and vibration of the mantra rather than its meaning, although meaning may be personally significant. This practice helps cultivate concentration, grounding, and emotional stability during periods of stress.

Participants may begin by sitting quietly and directing kind, supportive thoughts toward themselves before extending them outward to others. These reflections should be intentional and gentle, without forcing emotion or expectation. Alternatively, walking mindfulness may be practiced by moving slowly and deliberately, paying attention to each step and breath. This approach emphasizes compassion, connection, and awareness within everyday movement.

Participants may engage in slow, controlled movements or stretches while maintaining steady breathing. Attention should be placed on physical sensations such as balance, tension, and release. Movements should be fluid and unhurried, prioritizing awareness over physical exertion. This practice supports mind-body connection and helps release stress accumulated through prolonged sitting or mental strain.

Participants may focus on grounding techniques such as counting breaths, noticing surrounding sounds, or observing physical sensations. Journaling after the practice is encouraged to reflect on emotional state, stress levels, or personal insights. Writing should be open-ended and non-judgmental, focusing on awareness rather than outcomes. These practices allow participants to integrate mindfulness into daily academic life in a flexible and accessible way.

We acknowledge that academic schedules, work commitments, and personal responsibilities can be demanding and unpredictable. Participants may divide their practice into shorter sessions throughout the day rather than completing it all at once. All exercises are adaptable to personal comfort levels and environmental constraints. The intent is to support student well-being while respecting the realities of educational life.

The FC Cincinnati Foundation is looking for several volunteers to fill our open coaching positions for the Spring 2026 season. No prior coaching experience needed!

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.

Flexible schedule—just one hour per week at a time that works best for YOU!

Gain experience with multi-sensory and evidence-based instruction

Build meaningful relationships and grow as a communicator and educator

Benefits for learners include:

Each “All About Me Board” is designed to capture the Favorite Things, Life Story and What Matters Most. Many of our patients struggle with communication barriers or advanced dementia. At a glance, anyone that walks into the room can have access to important information to give that patient a great experience. Each board is purposefully designed to look homemade, unique and specially made just for that patient. Pictures can be added to provide recognition and points of conversation.

The HOC End of Life Doula will sit down and complete the board with either the caregiver and/or patient. Overall, HOC Navigators serve 6,000 patients each year – so we need a lot of help!!!! Our solution is to recruit Community Service Volunteers to help. Gather your businesses, churches, schools and social groups to do together. We also have open service days where you can meet new friends!

Materials are provided or you can host a drive for scrapbook paper, stickers and glue to support the effort prior to serving. HOC will provide a workspace, speaker and facilitator if desired. Each person needs to bring their own pair of scissors, a water bottle, creativity and desire to make a difference! This project can also be done as a remote service opportunity.

You must have an appointment to volunteer. Please email Lauren_Athey@trihealth.com to schedule.

Are you a UC student looking for volunteer hours—and want to make your time count in a stylish, sustainable way? Join Mary Magdalen House and the UC Thrifting Club for an exclusive opportunity to thrift essential clothing for our unhoused neighbors in Over-the-Rhine (OTR). The thrifting is only about an hour long, but extra time is allocated for transportation. We meet in the parking lot at St. Vincent DePaul facing Chickering Ave between 8:50 and 9:10(+-). Please ensure that you are at this location and not the warehouse on Este. You must contact the program manager @Brian785-684-2324 upon arrival or send an email beforehand (brian@marymagdalenhouse.org). 

✨ This Isn’t Your Average Thrifting Trip:
Through a special partnership, you’ll get exclusive early access to clothing before it hits the thrift store floor(in case you want to buy something while you're out), plus a behind-the-scenes look at how donations are sorted and processed.

How it works: You meet a guide or liaison before the mission starts to get a debriefing. You'll receive a “shopping list” with specific needs and sizes—your target: find clothing that brings dignity and style to our guests.

♻️ Why It Matters:
This is more than shopping. You’re giving quality clothes a second life, reducing waste, and helping people feel seen, respected, and confident in what they wear.

Enjoy maintenance work? We always need help to maintain our properties! Join our maintenance team on various projects! There is no set schedule. We'd work around you!

Help our residents start and keep up with their gardening plans this spring and summer! This activity will be at a residence in the Blue Ash area. The activity schedule is based upon when the volunteer is available. Most afternoons after 2pm will work for residents. 

We are looking for individuals to help get our residents active and social. Whether it's attending a social event or just having a board game night, it's always a good time! The goal is relationship building! The timing can depend upon the volunteer's availability. 

Help get our Kennedy Heights community out and active! Every other Saturday we get outside to play various games like corn hole and latter ball. On rainy days we enjoy WI Sports or some rounds of Uno. We need volunteers to engage in these activities with our community.

All that is required is loading up as much as you can haul (or that we have) into your Smart car, Prius, S10, Van-life van or whatever and transporting our sorted goods to be rehoused. Whether you want to take it to your favorite non-profit organization or just want to rehouse it to one of our partners, the choice is up to you. We can help with the loading but if you want to bring a friend with you to help with the unloading, no problem!
