Volunteers of all ages, abilities, and locations around Greater Cincinnati are needed to build strong kids, strong families, and strong communities. Click here to get involved.

In addition to unlimited volunteer needs at local branches, the YMCA's Community Services branch leads a number of civic engagement initiatives for the Association. As a "Y without walls," the Community Services YMCA (CSY) can be found in some surprising places!

CSY partners with Cincinnati Public Schools to deliver an innovative network of programs designed to support the district's community learning center plan. Within the framework, CSY connects the CincyAfterSchool program to 9 schools funded by the 21st Century Community Learning Center grant and many agency partners throughout the community.

CSY's regional leadership of National Youth Service Day enables the YMCA to instill a volunteer spirit in youth ages 10 to 25. This year's National Youth Service Day celebration coincides with Earth Day on April 22, 2006. The YMCA is partnering with Keep Cincinnati Beautiful and the Great American Clean-Up to reach over 10,000 volunteers throughout the tri-state area. Learn more at www.ysa.org.

We also engage in collaborative partnerships, including an Asset Builders Alliance, the Ohio Afterschool Network, the Afterschool Alliance, and the Abundant Assets
initiative.
