You don’t need to be a writer or a teacher to join WordPlay’s dedicated volunteer community. But we do need kind, positive individuals to assist with our K-12 programs, both in schools and at WordPlay’s community writing center in Northside. Programs are typically 8 to 12 weeks long for 1-2 hours after school, on Saturdays…
From open mic nights to Ride for Reading, WordPlay hosts several community events throughout the year. And the more people we have around to help, the better! Duties may include setting up/cleaning up; distributing flyers; greeting attendees and showing them where to go; serving food and drinks; and taking photos.
As mentors, we help ensure that every school in the Greater Cincinnati area has a GSA that is thriving by connecting them with essential resources, and encouraging youth leadership development. This volunteer position requires less than 5 hours per month.

GLSEN Greater Cincinnati offers trainings for teachers and administrators on how to recognize and address bullying and anti-gay bias in the classroom.
