Volunteer Opportunities
Over the past year, the Scripps Howard Center has been partnering with Children Inc, the Kentucky Enquirer, United Way of Greater Cincinnati, Legacy, and Vision 2015 to produce nkyHELPS.org. nkyHELPS.org is a one-stop shop for volunteerism and donations in Northern Kentucky. We are connecting those who want to volunteer their time, money, and items with nonprofits that need them. It is our goal to make Northern Kentucky the easiest place in the country to volunteer and donate. Whether you are looking for a one time opportunity or an on-going volunteer opportunity or you need a volunteer spot for one or fifty-one, then www.nkyhelps.org is the place to go!

For more than 65 years, the Contemporary Arts Center has been a forum for progressive art and ideas serving the city of Cincinnati and the region. In Spring 2003 the CAC moved to a new state-of-the-art building. In the new building's design, the admissions desk is located far from the entrance. The CAC has become increasingly aware of negative responses to the new building entrance. We wish to rectify this customer service issue by providing a "greeters desk" near the entrance.
We are looking for volunteers to welcome all guests of the CAC. They will hand visitors informational brochures and direct them to the admissions desk. Greeters will be able to provide basic information about what exhibitions are located on which floor of the CAC. They will also be able to direct visitors to the gift shop, restrooms, and elevators.
Greeters will be expected to wear neat and clean casual attire that is appropriate in an art museum. Greeters are asked to give a 3 to 4 hour block of time, at least once a week adding up to 30 hours a quarter or 48 a semester.
The CAC is open:
Monday 10am-9pm
Tuesday Closed
Wednesday-Friday 10am to 6pm
Saturday-Sunday 11am-6pm
Greeter's Benefits
In return for their volunteer services, greeters will receive a Student Membership to the CAC for this season which includes:
- One student membership card, with unlimited free admission
- Two free guest passes for regular admission
- May bring one guest (per card) to exhibition members-only
- Invitations to members-only previews and events
- 10% discount on all CAC Store purchases
- Subscription to CenterBeat newspaper
- Access to Online Members' Lounge
- Free admission to Contemporary Fridays
- Members' Appreciation Event

Are you a caring adult who can commit time to mentor a child and provide academic, social and emotional support? If so the Strengthening Partnership and Recourses For Kids (S.P.A.R.K.) Program needs you. The goal of the program is to recruit, match, and
maintain 50 matches of trained mentors with children whose parent(s) are incarcerated, thus paving the way for a mentee to become a successful
and contributing member of society. The children range in ages from 4-14. Every child has the potential to success, given the right guidance, support and love and with an hour of your time a week you can make the difference
in a child's life. The one on one relationships with a mentor can help a child with many problems that affect life at home and at school... alienation, loneliness, low
self-esteem, poor work habits, lack of basic skills and lack of information about the community and the work world.
