Meet Future Community Development Leaders.
Our Co-Op and Fellowship Program offers a unique opportunity for university students and post graduate individuals to gain hands-on experience in community development. Focused on fostering real-world learning, this program pairs students with Community Development Corporations (CDCs) and HomeBase led neighborhood projects to engage in impactful neighborhood projects. Fellows work alongside industry professionals, contributing to housing, economic development, and community building efforts. Our program not only builds student skills but also strengthens Cincinnati's neighborhoods by injecting fresh talent and innovative ideas into the community development ecosystem.
Our current Co-ops and Fellows are on the Our Teams page, below you can see our previous interns and where they landed community based positions after their time with us!

"As a co-op at HomeBase Cincinnati, I was able to enrich my understanding of community development. Collaborating with diverse stakeholders honed my ability to navigate challenges in policy, planning, and community engagement, all while reinforcing my commitment to creating impactful change in local neighborhoods.
