Summer on the Cuyahoga is primarily organized and run by alumni volunteers who are excited to help students explore Cleveland and potential career paths, but it cannot be done without support from throughout the community. Please consider financial or volunteer support in the following areas, and contact us at info@summeronthecuyahoga.org to let us know your interests.
events
Summer on the Cuyahoga organizes a series of events to enhance the students' understanding of their Cleveland experience. Events include meetings with civic leaders, community services and social events with young professionals and alumni. Please let us know if you have event ideas or if you can help coordinate one.
jobs
Summer on the Cuyahoga believes it is extremely important to convey to the students the wide range of professional opportunities available in Northeast Ohio. We are always looking to introduce the program to new employers. Please let us know if you would like to be an employer or help identify new organizations to participate.
financial support
Summer on the Cuyahoga is an Ohio nonprofit 501(c)3 corporation for which your contributions are tax-deductible. Please consider a gift in the following amounts that reflect the cost of successfully executing this program:
- Sponsorship of a student $1,000
- Housing for an intern for half the summer $500
- Summer event expense for an intern $350

This program is also generously supported by a number of Cleveland's family, community and corporate foundations.
hosts
We invite alumni to be "Hosts" to the students during the summer. The intent is that the alum be a resource to the student regarding life after college and life in Cleveland. In many cases, the relationship continues beyond the summer experience, thereby keeping the student connected to Cleveland and the alum connected to current life on campus.
