The Young Adults in the City program offers the chance for young adults to share their time, talent and energy with those in need. You can help distribute food at St. Aloysius Parish on Cleveland’s East Side, provide homing in the inner city, organize donations and inventory of baby supplies at crisis nursery, Providence House or serve a meal at St. Augustine Hunger Center in Tremont, all helping individuals and families in need.  Many have found Young Adults in the City so enjoyable and enriching that they’ve returned again and again. Opportunities are limited to 20 people, so apply soon!
