5th Annual Northside Back-to-School Community Event

Guiding Light Mentoring is thrilled to announce the return of its highly anticipated annual event, "Northside Back-to-School Community Event," now in its fifth consecutive year. Set to take place at McKie Recreation Center located at 1655 Chase Avenue, Cincinnati, OH 45223, in the Northside area, this event aims to provide essential resources for the community.

On Saturday August 16, 2025, Guiding Light Mentoring will host their 5th Annual Northside Back-to-School Community Event. For this year’s event, we are anticipating providing more than 600 families and students, elementary school aged, in our community with backpacks, school supplies, and community resources. The goal of the event is to bring the Northside community together while preparing youth for the upcoming school year despite any financial difficulties and challenges experienced by families.
