WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER

Cincinnati is Beautiful.

We're committed to keeping it that way through the COVID-19 pandemic. Now more than ever we need to empower individuals to build community and create a positive future through neighborhood revitalization, education, and mobilization.

PROGRAM UPDATES

We are so excited to be back to work!

We will be adopting new safety measures and re-launching for the public over the coming months. Safety guidelines for volunteer events will be provided to community leaders and groups soon. Until then we urge people to continue to care for their block or street by picking up litter, maintaining green spaces, and doing what they can for others in the community.

ARTS -- The Arts team is out painting windows and doors on abandoned buildings (when it's not raining). We look forward to having the help of small volunteer groups soon!

EDUCATION -- We are going virtual! If you haven't seen one of our new growing green habits videos, check them out here.

GREAT AMERICAN CLEANUP -- We are looking for committed volunteers who want to make a difference where they live or work by adopting-a-spot.

GREENSPACE -- Weeding Wednesdays are back and will help maintain the Vacant Lots: Occupied sites in Evanston.

SUPPORT FOR COMMUNITIES

Tell your Senator or Representative that Cincinnati needs resources to keep our communities, safe, healthy, and connected.

Local governments, like Cincinnati, have a direct impact on our daily lives. Without federal support, they will be faced with deep cuts to essential services like public health, police, fire, trash collection, road maintenance, and protecting the environment.

SPEAK UP FOR STRONG COMMUNITIES
