WOW! What a fun afternoon with Renee, Lilly and Linsey from UpSpring!
So what is UpSpring?
It’s the region’s only non-profit exclusively serving the educational needs of homeless children and youth. They provide these students with the consistency needed to achieve academic success and become well-rounded, active participants in their community.
Nearly half of children in the greater Cincinnati area live in poverty – between the 2nd and 4th worst rate in the country.
UpSpring provides afterschool programs, lunches, tutors and mentors to those children…. And boy do they have a good time! 😉
Each year UpSpring empowers the lives of approximately 3,500 children experiencing homelessness in our region – AMAZING!
In 2017, UpSpring held its 20th annual summer program in Cincinnati & its second year in Northern Kentucky!
UpSpring Summer 360 is an educational and enrichment-based program for local children experiencing homelessness. Each morning students (ages five to twelve) focus on literacy & math lessons delivered by licensed teachers. In the afternoon they engage in enrichment, fitness, and other activities.
