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.

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.

Hospice of Cincinnati (HOC) was awarded a grant to install an indoor aviary at the Blue Ash inpatient care center. We are looking for a student intern in Ecology or Biological Studies to plan and execute the project with manager supervision. Research best practices, creating design plans, gathering bids from vendors, overseeing construction, bird installation and sustainability are all part. This would make a great capstone project.

**We would love to have you at Cincinnati Animal CARE, however, this opportunity is only suitable for those who plan to volunteer on a regular basis. Before you begin all volunteers MUST apply online at https://cincinnatianimalcare.org/volunteer-with-cac/ and complete the required volunteer onboarding and training process. DO NOT come to the shelter until training has been completed and you have signed up for a volunteer shift on CAC's platform My Impact Page. Signing up on UC's platform does not translate to CAC's schedule and you run the risk of being turned away. Volunteer hours will NOT be approved until you have completed all volunteer training and your hours have been recorded on your My Impact Page and verified. If volunteer hours can't be verified in our system they will be denied.**

Our weekly Vaccine Clinic is one of the most impactful ways we serve the community, providing affordable vaccines and microchips that help pets stay healthy and keep families together. We can’t do this without volunteers—your time directly helps dozens of pets and their people every week. 

Our Vaccine Clinic is every Thursday 1-3pm at our Colerain location. We need volunteers to help greet, check in guests, and draw up vaccines.

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.

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.

Looking for a meaningful way to start your morning? Join our breakfast team at St. Francis Seraph Ministries and help serve a hot meal to our neighbors experiencing poverty in Over-the-Rhine.

From coffee to conversation, every plate you serve helps build connection, dignity, and hope. It’s more than breakfast — it’s community.

Breakfast Shift: 6:45 AM – 9:00 AM (Monday–Friday)

Each morning, our volunteers work side by side to serve food and smiles. You’ll leave energized, inspired, and ready to take on your day — knowing you’ve made a difference before most people have had their first cup of coffee.

Where You’ll Find Us:

St. Anthony Center (corner of Liberty and Republic), just 1.5 miles from UC.
Free parking is available in front of the building or behind St. Francis Seraph School (enter from Vine St. and park between the green school fence and Hubert St.).

Whether you’re naturally an early riser or just want to try something new, breakfast service is a beautiful way to begin the day with purpose.
