- Congratulations to the Look to Clermont Class of 2006!
They graduated from the program on April 26, 2006. As part of the class, they were
required to complete a service project. Here are the projects they completed:
- Burke Park Beautification
The beautification group identified a park that needed improvement, worked with
the village administrator in Bethel to plan the project, and carried out painting,
clean-up and planting projects. The culmination of their project was the opening
ceremony, community cookout and egg hunt on April 15.
- Clean and Green
Students in this group enlisted volunteers and worked at the Clermont 20/20 Inc.
Annual Clean and Green Community Litter Pick-Up event on April 22. In addition,
they will be engaging in individual beautification activities within their various
communities this spring.
- Clermont County's History
Members of this project were intrigued by the Clermont history they were learning
in Look to Clermont, and they wanted to share it with a larger audience. They
gathered additional information, did interviews, and designed a Clermont County
history website with the most interesting information for students. The website
is located at www.freewebs.com/clermonthistory.
- Community Theater
This group worked with the Boys & Girls Club of Clermont County to coordinate a
week-long program for students in New Richmond during spring break. They
coordinated rehearsals, costumes, and set design for two plays performed for
the public on April 22.
- Operation Spotlight Military
Students in this group solicited donations, packed boxes, and mailed them to
Clermont members of the military. They also are working with the Lead Clermont
project group to coordinate the children's activity area of the Spotlight Military
program on May 20.
- Survive!
Members of this group identified personal safety and self-defense as an issue.
They brought community groups together to support nationally-known speaker Debbie
Gardner at Loveland High School on March 18. The event drew an audience ranging
from elementary students through seniors.

On Earth Day, April 22, 733 volunteers gathered throughout Clermont County to pick-up
litter from our roadways, parks and schoolyards. Over 928 bags of litter were collected
and an additional 120 bags of recyclable materials was diverted from the landfill with
the help of Master Recycler Composter volunteers. This annual event is hosted by the
Clermont 20/20 Clean and Green Program as part of a larger national effort, The Great
American Clean-up (see the

- Clermont 20/20 Mentoring Program Expands
In a cooperative effort between Clermont 20/20, Inc. and Clermont Educational
Opportunities the Clermont 20/20 Mentoring Program is about to expand.
Originally created four years ago as a LEAD Clermont class project, the Mentoring
Program continues to grow into an invaluable service for our Clermont County high schools.
Currently, the program has volunteer mentors working with students in Williamsburg
and Glen Este high schools. Each campus has 2 mentors for each grade level. The
mentors work as a team and meet with their group of students each week motivating
and encouraging each one of them to strengthen their self-confidence, stay in
school, develop life skills and set life goals.
Beginning this fall, the mentoring program will be offered in four additional
high schools. As the program expands throughout the county, Clermont 20/20
will be in need of volunteers who are ready to give something back to our
community through mentoring our youth. There are many citizens who are committed
to the welfare of Clermont County and, indeed, each one has a rich, diverse
background within our community. Gene Bishop, of Milford, is in his 4th year
as a volunteer mentor at Glen Este. "This has been one of the most rewarding
experiences I have had," says Bishop. "To notice the change from 'children' in
9th grade to 'young adults' in 12th grade shows me that there is hope. We have
taken these 9 people and changed their lives for the better. They now can look
people in the eye when they speak, can talk to groups of people, and have improved
their grade point average significantly since we started. Also, none of them
thought they could go on to higher education, now all are looking toward college,
trade school or the service to help them to a more secure future. The biggest
thing is they now have a sense of 'value'. I think anyone who is willing to
take an interest in a few students will feel the same."
Volunteering as a mentor is a unique opportunity to help our youth grow and
develop into productive adults within our community. Giving students positive
role models and encouraging them to reach their goals is a service we, as mentors
and citizens of this community, are obligated to give to our youth. If you are
interested in learning more about volunteering as a mentor please contact
Nancy Hall, Program Manager for Clermont Educational Opportunities and the
Clermont 20/20 High School Mentoring Program, at 513-753-9525 or by email at
ceop@clermont2020.org.
