Into the Streets is an annual event during which UC students, faculty, and staff volunteer their time and effort to a range of service organizations for a full day at the start of the academic year. Breakfast and lunch is provided for all volunteers!

Key partners for Into the Streets 2012 include Keep Cincinnati Beautiful and theNeighborhood Enhancement Program to focus and integrate services and community redevelopment efforts.
