Our Programs
At CYC, we are committed not only to providing excellent support for Cincinnati-area students, but to serving as a model for mentoring programs nationwide. Before you sign up to volunteer with us, you might want to know: What makes us different?
CYC works closely with Cincinnati Public Schools to provide on-site coordinators for CYC's mentoring and tutoring programs. This partnership allows CYC coordinators to better facilitate the matching process and to monitor each mentor-mentee relationship. Daily, one-on-one interaction with students, faculty, and adult volunteers ensures that participating students in the program have a greater chance of graduating high school and progressing on to higher education.
Contemplating signing up as a volunteer for one of our award-winning programs? Hundreds of youth (grades 3-12) remain on the waiting list for mentors and tutors! There are many volunteer options at CYC; learn more about the programs to find your best fit:
