About Us

ALLY is a non-profit, tax exempt organization working with schools and communities to grow leadership for the promotion of green schools. Multicultural arts are used as an empowerment tool, both inside and outside the classroom.

ALLY started in 1996 to provide leadership development and community organizing training for adults. In recent years, ALLY began using the arts to civically engage young people to address environmental issues and the need for the development of sustainable living practices. Native American customs, as they relate to sustainability, combined with modern green technology, are explored through multicultural arts activities.

With the passage of the Cincinnati Public School’s bond levy to build new schools, ALLY decided to partner with other groups to launch a Green Schools Civic Education Project and a Green and Healthy Schools Educational Program.

ALLY is also working on the development of a Green Schools as Learning Tools Curriculum Guide, Music CD and a five-part video series with CETconnect.
