Approximately 34% of children in the City of Cincinnati live below the federal poverty line, compared to roughly 16% of children nationwide.
Children account for nearly 1 in 4 people experiencing homelessness in Greater Cincinnati.
As a community there is something we can do
As the region's only non-profit exclusively serving the educational needs of children and youth experiencing homelessness, UpSpring provides these students with the consistency needed to achieve academic success and become well-rounded, active participants in their community. A consistent education breaks the cycle of childhood homelessness and elevates kids, families, and communities.
TOGETHER, WE CAN CHANGE LIVES
Our mission is to empower children experiencing homelessness in Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky by providing opportunities through education and enrichment.
Our vision is to positively transform our communities by breaking the cycle of homelessness and poverty.
Each year UpSpring empowers the lives of over 4,000 children experiencing homelessness in our region. Since our founding in 1998, we've elevated more than 45,000 children experiencing homelessness.
