Educational Field Trips
Cincinnati Museum Center, Omnimax, Cincinnati Nature Center, Cincinnati Zoo, Krohn Conservatory, and Shaw Farm
These programs allow our inner-city children to have experiences beyond their neighborhoods that most families wouldn’t otherwise be able to afford. It allows them to connect socially to children and adults of all economic, cultural and racial backgrounds and provides an extra incentive for the hard work they do in school, in the ICYO Academic Intervention Program and on the tennis courts. ICYO’s goal is to help the children see the value of a good education, make positive choices and reject negative behaviors.

I have been in this program since I was about 7 or 8 years old. Now I am 14 years old. This program has helped with my grades, helped with trying to be a better person in life and it has helped me try to be a better role model. I have learned that success in life in that is the best way to live. “If you can’t find a good role model, be one.” Miss Lillie (ICYO staff) says and has been a good role model to me. She is teaching and doesn’t even recognize she is doing that. She has been one of my best role models.
