Thank You, Greater Cincinnati Foundation!!

Central Clinic is grateful to The Greater Cincinnati Foundation for awarding a $1,000 Summertime Kids grant to the Enjoy the Arts summer program at Roberts Paideia Academy. Thanks to Jasmine Coaston (our After School Coordinator at Roberts) for her work to secure this grant.

The grant will be used to facilitate a 4-week program for students who will be immersed in four areas of art—visual art, music, dance, and drama. Students will be exposed to new ways to express themselves though these various arts. At the end of each week, students will showcase that week’s art lessons in a presentation.

Our lasting appreciation to The Greater Cincinnati Foundation (GCF) for making this project possible! This is the 20th year that GCF has awarded its annual Summertime Kid grants!
