| The Center for Community Engagement has partnered with Over-the-Rhine Community Housing to provide this weekly service project, now entering its third school year. |
|
Over-the-Rhine Community Housing is a non-profit organization that works to build and sustain a diverse neighborhood that values and benefits low-income residents. They focus on developing and managing resident-centered, affordable housing in an effort to promote inclusive community.
UC electronic media student Clifton Sneed has created a short video about Over-the-Rhine Community Housing and how UC students are involved. You can watch it on YouTube HERE. A great peek at what volunteers do!
| When |
every Saturday morning from 9-12 noon |
| Who |
8-10 UC students |
| Where |
Over-the-Rhine Community (114 E. 14th Street) |
| What |
Renovating apartments for low-income housing. Tasks will vary by Saturday. You may be painting, spackling, tiling (floor work), landscaping, or something else entirely! |
Getting There
|
Off-street parking is available. Depending on the Saturday, a limited number of rides may be available with the site leader (a UC student). Also, the 17 and 19 buses run from UC to the work site. (See Metro for schedules.) The CCE and your site leader will work with you to make sure you can get to the site. |
Do you have a car? Students also are needed to volunteer as site leaders for these Saturday projects. On Saturday morning, the site leader transports paperwork to the Over-the-Rhine Community Housing office and ensures that all volunteers are able to get to the service site. Site leaders then work alongside other volunteers under the direction of Over-the-Rhine Community Housing staff or skilled volunteers, so no construction experience is needed--just a car and willingness to lead.
Want to volunteer or be a site leader? Stop by the CCE office to sign up for one or more Saturday(s). Contact us at community.engagement@uc.edu or (513) 556-1559 with questions.
