Helpful information to forward:
We'd like to ask you to support one of our signature mentoring programs through the UC Center for Community Engagement called Zoo-Mates. If you’re not already familiar, Zoo-Mates is a group mentoring program that pairs 30 UC students with 30 students from Cincinnati Public Schools who are currently experiencing homelessness. A large portion of our funding comes from a voting contest on TrueHero.org where the “Top 8 College Projects” (vote-getters) are awarded project support grants.
