we have a place for you here

No matter your background or skillset, Mount Zion Black Cultural Center can use your help. Our mission will not be accomplished by our board alone, but by the culmination of our community’s efforts. Here in Athens, Ohio we have a special spirit of giving and collaboration that can propel our non-profit forward. We appreciate every act whether big or small.
