Our Mission

To foster character development in children and adults as a foundation for thriving.

The Character Council of Greater Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky and Southeastern Indiana (CC) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to strengthening the people of the greater Cincinnati region and beyond by promoting positive character development in schools, workplaces, families, and communities. CC equips leaders with tools, curriculum, and training to cultivate values such as honesty, respect, responsibility, and empathy.

Over 25 years serving schools, businesses, families, communities, and faith organizations.

Get Involved

Without individual commitments, partner organizations, donors, and committed media, the Character Council’s mission might go unfulfilled.

The introduction of good character qualities into the lives of your business associates, your fellow community members — everybody — helps to create a community of pride, of caring, and of citizenship.
