Opportunities From: Center for Community Engagement

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).

Get ready as we join our students in basketball, soccer, reading, arts & crafts, and yoga!  We huddle with the kids both at 10:00 a.m. and at 11:45 a.m. as we reinforce our themes, share wisdom from guest speakers, and recognize outstanding behavior for the day.  At 12:00, we head back upstairs for lunch. No basketball experience is required - we have a list of ways you can help.  Please arrive at Saturday Hoops around 9:30 to check in and participate in our volunteer orientation at 9:45 (quick orientation where we assign roles and go over stations for that day). We look forward to seeing you on a Saturday, so feel free to sign up for a Saturday or more.  It's so much fun for kids and adults of all ages!  To get credit, you must sign in at the front desk using our QR code (if the QR code is not working, you can sign in with our paper format).
