The Colerain Council of Neighborhoods
The Colerain Council of Neighborhoods is excited to bring Hamilton County's YOUTH ENGAGEMENT SERVICES to Colerain Township for the first time. While the program has existed in one form or another for over a decade, they have never held an event that helps match youth 4-21 with employers in Colerain Township
We will be following the lead of HCJFS and Talbert House along with the NWLSD to bring jobs for kids and provide Colerain business owners with free employees !
(Yes, we said FREE!)

TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE PARK
The Colerain Council of Neighborhoods
The Colerain Council of Neighborhoods held its first solo community-building activity on April 8th with the Total Eclipse of the Park.
It was a wonderful event at Heritage Park, which sat in the path of totality for the eclipse. The Council set a record for attendance at the park. About 200 people attended.
Council volunteers did a NASA-endorsed experiment with the children, all earned NASA sponsored Certificates in their Citizen Scientist Program. Kids played the roulette wheel and won prizes and candy for answering the questions correctly. We also provided everyone with free eclipse glasses.

Over the years, we have witnessed 1000s of individuals in our community improve the quality of life in Colerain. Meanwhile, we have seen nearly every citizen committee abolished by the township leadership. The Council will recreate what worked 50 years ago - citizen input on our parks, development, safety, and the overall well-being of our residents and neighborhoods.

Our Action Plans
There are a variety of needs and wants in Colerain. They are different in each neighborhood. The problem is - as individual neighborhoods - nothing gets done - for any of us. However, as a Council - working together - we have the power to move issues up the ladder.
Action Plans are the collective Citizens' Agenda that is determined by residents forwarded by residents.
WE COULD NEVER DO THIS ALONE - THANK YOU
