National Litter Prevention Campaign volunteers needed through October
WHO: Keep Cincinnati Beautiful needs interns and volunteers to help with the Littering is Wrong Too campaign
WHAT:
Cincinnati has been selected by Keep America Beautiful as the pilot
for its brand new National multi-media Litter Prevention campaign. This
campaign is fresh, memorable and has a different twist compared to
anything we have done in the past. Interns will learn a lot and be an
integral part on this resume-building effort. You will have fun with
it!
WHEN: The interns
would be needed for a 2 month period working 10-12 hours weekly.
Times/dates are very flexible. Duties will include implementing the
promotion/marketing plan: website management, handling promotions,
coordinating volunteers, attending social events to talk to people
about our campaign, distributing merchandise, designing marketing
materials, etc.
The volunteers will only be needed for specific
dates during the summer to man booths, engaging people and giving away
merchandise.
CONTACT: For more info contact Josman at (513) 352-4383.

Education
A volunteer experience is a great way to connect students with their community and a great way for students to see that they can 'Be the change' in their community. KCB has ongoing volunteer opportunities for students to be a part of. We can also work with your class or organization to create an experience to meet your goals, objectives, time frame and location. Contact Barb at 352-4387.
School campus/neighborhood cleanups are a great way for schools to beautify their communities.
In conjunction with KCB's Great American Cleanup, over 1,500 students participated from 28 area schools in April 2009. Groups ranged in size from 10 students to 350. KCB would like to thank those participating teachers for coordinating these cleanups and emphasizing to students the importance of litter prevention and community involvement.
Service Learning
Keep Cincinnati Beautiful is excited about a new environmental education opportunity for college students, called 'Growing Green Habits'. This program places college students in the role of environmental 'mentor' for elementary students. Young children love learning from 'big kids' and this is a unique opportunity for students to serve as role models and teachers. University of Cincinnati students who are interested in working with young children and have an interest in environmental education and completing community service hours, this program is for YOU!
Students will be given the opportunity to teach elementary students a variety of environmental topics including litter prevention, recycling and beautification. Each student will receive training from KCB staff before entering the classroom. Look for details of this program on the University of Cincinnati Service Learning Website: Center for Community Engagement.
Contact Barb at 352-4387.
Volunteerism Throughout the Year
Keep Cincinnati Beautiful will be happy to provide you with a volunteer experience for your class or group. All you need to do is fill out the volunteer group confirmation form, and if we do not have an existing opportunity, we will find one that meets your group's needs.
Corporate Volunteer Opportunities
We have numerous opportunities for companies both large and small. We can't think of a better way to foster teamwork than to help a community clean up an illegal dumpsite or to plant perennials at a Daffodils & Daylilies site!
Please fill out the volunteer group confirmation form and contact Brooke at 352-4385.
Great American Cleanup and Make a Difference Day
These are our signature events. The Great American Cleanup takes place each April and is the nation's largest day of community service. Make a Difference Day is its fall counterpart. Join thousands of volunteers to help us clean up the tri-state!
