Inner City Youth Opportunities

Inner City Youth Opportunities

(1 review)

In 1993, the Inner City Youth Opportunities organization was founded by Jeanne and Phillip Bell…read more They saw inner city children struggling in the classroom and with family problems, and they wanted to help. Seeing the positive impact that sports has on the development of children, the Bells took to combining their love of tennis with helping local inner city kids succeed in the classroom and out in the real world. By combining tennis, academic intervention, and youth development programs the ICYO strives to teach the children important life skills to succeed (according to ICYO Newsletter and website). Through the Academic Intervention Program, the ICYO offers tutoring and homework help four days a week, assisting with anything from reading, writing, and spelling to organization skills, math, and even computer/keyboarding. During the summer months, Mrs. Bell runs a tennis program at Withrow High School, Monday through Thursday for three hours. I was a volunteer three years ago and it was such a great experience and it felt really good to help the many children with their tennis, watch them enjoy it, and just to be their friend while I was there. Transportation (and meals) to all ICYO events is free, and for those really interested in tennis, they will take them around to play in the area tournaments. Although I was too young to see it at the time, playing in these tournaments and sometimes seeing the Bells spending their Friday and Saturday nights watching their program's kids play tennis is truly remarkable. The best thing is when they issue their seasonal newsletter and you can read some of the success stories. The most important thing to the Bells and their staff and many volunteers is teaching the children life skills and leading them down the right path towards earning a high school degree. In the summer tennis program in 2005, I worked alongside a man who was ICYO's first high school graduate in 2000, an honors student and National Honors Society member, and then a 2005 graduate of Kent State University where he was on scholarship for football. Without the ICYO program, it's not likely he would have been able to achieve what he did, and he recognized that, which is why he gave back to the program in which he grew up. Inner City Youth Opportunities is an excellent program and the number of nationally and community-based partnerships they are involved in shows that too. Whether it's from tutoring, tennis, or a trip to a Xavier basketball game or Camp Ernst, for example, ICYO provides great opportunities for inner city children of Cincinnati to have fun, while also growing as both persons and students. It's truly outstanding and touching what the Bells have been doing these last 15 years with the ICYO program, and I'm glad to have been a part of it.

I am totally a fan of the Spanish community, so if you are looking for a place to practice your…read moreSpanish, volunteer with the people, or learn about their culture, as far as I know, this is the place to do it in Cincinnati. I volunteered here for a few months, teaching math to Spanish people trying to earn their GED, and it was awesome. I got to practice my Spanish and meet some very cool people. The folks that run the volunteer program are awesome and very helpful, very flexible, and very understanding. I have also volunteered for a College Goal Sunday event here(where students fill out the FAFSA) and people came in droves to volunteer. It reminded me how rich of a support system it has and how happy people are to be involved with this joint. Even though it has a religious background and I absolutely do not, they accept anyone who is of good nature and you will guaranteed get along with them. If you're looking for a more casual, less official way to meet/converse with Spanish people, they have Sunday brunches in the basement after Sunday mass(from about noon-2). I went here once, because I typically work Sunday from 8-4, but I had a blast. I was hesitant when going, because I knew nobody. When I got downstairs and made it glaringly obvious that I knew nobody, a man motioned for me to sit down(his name was Wenceslao, so cool) and began a conversation. I chatted with him and a few others for about an hour, just getting to know them and practice my Spanish. Although I knew I was rusty, they assured me that I was very good and it built up my confidence. That experience is what Su Casa is all about. It's catered to the Spanish community, but accepts everyone with wide-open arms. I HIGHLY recommend this place as a way to feel like you're part of something.
