Planning & execution for VCIC regional compeititon host university

Join the Grail to remove invasive plants so our beneficial native plants and wildlife can flourish. By volunteering with us, you’ll not only contribute to the health of our ecosystem but also enhance the beauty of over 70 acres of land enjoyed by visitors and hikers.

The group will take a short hike to our work site then learn to identify different species of plants. We’ll pull invasive plants such as garlic mustard and wintercreeper and use loppers and hand saws to cut down honeysuckle.

Tools and work gloves will be provided.

Join us for the 2nd Annual River Clean-Up at Lost Bridge in North Bend! In partnership with Ohio River Valley Water Sanitation Commission (ORSANCO), Edible Ohio Valley Schoolhouse is bringing together volunteers to help protect and restore one of our region’s most vital natural resources.

Participants will work to remove litter and debris from the riverbank, helping improve water quality and protect local ecosystems. This hands-on service project is a meaningful way to make an immediate impact while connecting with others who care about environmental stewardship.

At Edible, we believe that a thriving local food system depends on clean air, healthy soil, and—critically—clean water. Supporting efforts like this river clean-up is essential to ensuring that our farms, foodways, and communities can flourish for generations to come.

Spend a day on the farm! After meeting our animals and taking a tour of the work we do in the world volunteers will help us:

1) Move some neglected planting beds to border our boardwalk, so folks with accessibility issues will have easier access to harvesting strawberries, nasturtiums, and other edibles. Once these boxes have been. moved, we will fill them with soil and plant them with flowers and edibles. 

2) Finish the blackberry arbor which will not only train our blackberry vines to climb, but also create a shady sit spot in the garden for visitors. 

3) Remove invasive bindweed and replace it with clover, a low-growing pollinator that adds nitrogen to the soil, improving soil health, and feeds the bees all summer. 

4) Deconstruct a rock wall and move these materials for use in a later project. 

5) Move and process large wood donations to create firewood, hugelkulture beds, and other projects. 

St. Vincent de Paul Northern Kentucky's thrift stores, through sales of donated items, generate 70% of the funding for our assistance programs. As a thrift store, the more stock and variety we have on the sales floor, the more sales we will have and more funding that is generated to help our neighbors in need. UC Serves volunteers will assist primarily in retail production - tagging and hanging donated clothing (each Z-rack = $500 of potential revenue) and/or pairing donated shoes (each bin of shoes = $600 of potential revenue). Work may also include running racks of product out to the sales floor and making it available for sale, or organization/color blocking of clothing on the sales floor to create a better shopping experience for our customers.

Carpooling recommended. Park as far back as possible in lot to avoid being blocked in by customers. Bathrooms available on site.

Come help us spruce up our playground! Some tasks include mulching, staining/painting equipment, carrying sand, and washing materials. 

Please join us as we start a community garden! Volunteers are needed in four areas:

Team 1: Garden Beds (digging/laying landscape cloth/edgers, assemble garden beds, wood chips/soil, plant starters)

Team 2: Pollinator Spiral  (digging/laying landscape cloth/edgers, build spiral, wood chips/soil)

Team 3: Berm (digging/laying landscape cloth/edgers, fill berm with soil)

Team 4: Shrubs  (digging/laying landscape cloth/edgers, wood chips/soil)

Students are challenged to use their critical thinking skills to discuss what life would have been like many years ago. BCM’s one-of-a-kind educational opportunities ignite a passion for learning while granting students a comprehension understanding of the subject matter.   Each year, BCM expands its outdoor programs and events, attracting visitors from around the tri-state. Over the past decade, an estimated 15,606 students have taken part in Behringer-Crawford’s educational programs. These programs reflect the increasing importance of history and cultural arts in educating the region's youth. BCM’s programs promote student success and nurture critical thinking and creativity that have a lasting impact on student’s lives in the classroom and beyond.

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.

Join us at the Neighborhood Hub! Volunteers get to:

Encourage and connect with kids as they shoot hoops, create crafts, and hang out.

Be part of a welcoming place where kids feel seen, known, and loved.

Share fun, faith, and friendship—no teaching experience required!

Whether you’re tossing a basketball, helping with crafts, or just chatting with kids on the steps, your presence makes a difference. Come hang out, laugh, and help kids experience joy in Jesus while building relationships that matter.

Time Commitment: Two hours a week!
Who Should Volunteer: Anyone 18+ who loves kids, fun, and a little chaos

BCI/FBI background checks required. Paid for by BLOC.

Overview of BLOC: 

We are an inner city ministry that lives and works in the neighborhoods we serve. Our mission exists to build relationships with our neighbors and share hope in brokenness. We target neighborhoods that are underserved. We have a staff size of about 50 where we have after school programs, sports performance center, houses for women in sex trafficking, men and women transitional homes, two coffee shops, screen printing, and other forms of ministry to love our neighbors. 

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.
