Train as an ombudsman volunteer so you too can help this vulnerable population. Following training, visit residents a nearby home once per month, and make a difference in their lives. Visit our website to sign up, or contact Linda at 513-458-5520 for more information. Volunteers complete 36 hours of training, a combination of classroom, homework and field shadowing, and then pass a state certification exam.
