Community Teas

The Independent Transportation Network of Greater Cincinnati (ITNGreaterCincinnati) invites you to a Community Tea to learn about the organization, its arm-through-arm, door-through-door transportation service for Cincinnati seniors and those with visual impairment, and how you can both participate in and benefit from the service. Light refreshments will be served. These events are free and open to the public. For more information please call ITNGreaterCincinnati at 513-559-2200.

There are no Community Teas scheduled at this time.


Volunteer Training Schedule

Ready to hit the road for a good cause? For many people, summer means fun seasonal activities. But for a senior without a ride or an adult with visual impairments, summer can be frustrating and isolating—with no way to reach summer fun or even necessary medical appointments. Help make summer accessible as a volunteer driver.

At the training session, the benefits of volunteering will be explained, which include a free ITNGreaterCincinnati membership to give to someone plus options on what to do with mileage earned. The best benefit, though, is the good feeling volunteers get by helping others remain active and independent.

Below is a list of upcoming Volunteer Driver trainings for August. Other schedules can be accommodated.

Saturday, August 21; 10 a.m. – noon
Goetz Building, 415 Straight St.- Clifton
