MISSION
The mission of the Cincinnati Urban Experience (CUE) is to provide participants with an experience
of meaningful service and education that will motivate them to
become active in the fight to end poverty and homelessness in
the United States.
OVERVIEW
The Greater Cincinnati Coalition for the Homeless provides
meaningful service opportunities while educating and immersing high school,
college, and other students in an urban
environment. GCCH arranges for service opportunities at many of its
forty-five member agencies. We also offer educational
activities so that students can learn about the root causes
of homelessness and poverty. While doing service and being
educated, students are taught the importance of advocacy to
promote systemic change.
PROGRAM TYPE
We can tailor an experience to your needs and our expertise.
Generally, experiences fall into two main types:
-
Week-long
Service Trips: Last an average of seven days and are most
popular during spring, summer, and winter breaks. These
trips are often referred to as "Alternative Spring Breaks."
We can accommodate groups at any time of the year, but please be
aware that spring is our busiest time and space is limited.
-
Weekend Urban Plunges: Occur over the
course of a weekend, often beginning on a Friday evening and
ending on a Sunday morning. They are particularly
well-suited for groups close to or located in Cincinnati.
