The Nati

There’s a lot of talk about bringing together people of different backgrounds in Cincinnati. The fact is, we need it. We tend to live and socialize with people who look just like us--rarely with people of a different race. That contributes to racial barriers in our community. Do you want to be a part of changing this? We can help bring people together, starting with ourselves.

Give Back Cincinnati and FreedomYP (the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center young professional group) are giving you an opportunity to be a part of a change. It’s called the Freedom Project, and it will provide you with a unique opportunity to build relationships with people of diverse backgrounds through shared volunteer experiences and communication.

A diverse team will be selected from applicants, and will participate on teams at 4 Give Back Cincinnati events throughout the year. The week following each event, members of the Freedom Project will get together for a facilitated reflection on their experiences and a chance to socialize together.

An info session for the Freedom Project will be held on Wed. Jan. 10th from 6:00-8:00 PM at McFadden’s – 7th St. Downtown.

By attending the info session you are not obligated to apply.
