About Cincinnati Children's
Employee Engagement & Events

Faculty and Staff Give Back to Children in Our Community

Cincinnati Children’s employees are dedicated not only to providing excellent patient care but also giving back to our community through volunteerism and service.

We reach beyond our walls to improve health outcomes for all children in the region, regardless of their background, circumstance or whether they receive care at Cincinnati Children’s.

These engagement efforts, facilitated by our Community Relations Department, strive to improve the quality of life for children and families.

Hands-On Volunteering

Our Volunteer Ambassador Program is open to all employees, no matter their department or role. Our faculty and staff find opportunities to give back and in ways that fit their schedules.  

Employees participate in community events such as: 

  • Read Across America Week
  • Volunteer Month
  • Regional health fairs
  • Career exploration and fairs
  • School partnerships and events
  • Ronald McDonald House Taste of Hope

In 2025, more than 2,300 Cincinnati Children’s employees volunteered to support child health in Greater Cincinnati.

ONE Community Campaign Raises Funds for Cincinnati Children’s and Key Community Partners

Cincinnati Children’s employees have the opportunity to donate each year to our ONE Community Campaign, which supports Cincinnati Children’s and community organizations that improve child health, including:

  • United Way of Greater Cincinnati, which supports more than 125 nonprofit agencies, including Every Child Succeeds, a Cincinnati Children’s department that supports infant and toddler development, and many others that are directly connected to our patients.
  • ArtsWave, which supports more than 150 Greater Cincinnati organizations and artists in creating thousands of concerts, shows, exhibitions and arts education programs that support children’s health.
  • American Heart Association, which works to build healthier lives free of cardiovascular disease and stroke and hosts the annual Heart Mini Marathon & Walk, in which many Cincinnati Children’s employees participate.

In 2025, Cincinnati Children’s raised nearly $1.2 million to support these organizations and other causes that benefit children’s health and well-being.
