Question

What are comunity service groups i can join in cincinnati?

Answer 1

If you go to the local library they ought to be able to tell you what groups are availabe:) Thats what I always did; Im from cincinnati

Answer 2

There are a lot of great neighborhood associations in the Nati, although service of this sort would be more helpful if you lived within the city limits where the attention is needed.There is also some kind of guardian angel program that seems o.k. I think they ride around downtown and give people directions or advice.Also great ones to help with are food pantries and habitat for humanity type programs.People need Food and shelter most urgently.

Answer 3

You can use the phone book and the web to find the Cincinnati branches of:

Rotary

Lions

Kiwanis International

Optimist

Zonta

Junior League

Alpha Phi Omega

Altrusa

Circle K

Civitan

Jaycees

Key Club

Rotaract

(not all will have branches where you are)

There's also women's community service clubs, black women's community service clubs, Hispanic men's community service clubs, etc., etc.

You can also look for volunteering opportunities to do directly, rather than through a community service group, via these web sites:

VolunteerMatch, http://www.volunteermatch.org

Idealist, http://www.idealist.org

Change.org, http://www.change.org

CraigsList, http://www.craigslist.com

Network for Good, http://www.networkforgood.org

http://www.1-800-volunteer.org/

ServeNet, http://servenet.org/

Also, contact your local volunteer center; you can find this via the Points of Light Foundation web site, http://www.pointsoflight.org/centers/

There's also this government sponsored site, http://volunteer.gov/gov/ which provides volunteer positions through USA federal land agencies like Fish & Wildlife, Forest Service, National Parks, etc.
