Build the Future of the Heights

How do you build the future of a community? It can be as simple as turning off the TV, leaving the house and getting to know your neighbors.

It can also mean volunteering at your local neighborhood school or library, attending a community forum or writing a letter to the editor of the local newspaper.

Help us Build the Future of the Heights. FutureHeights is an organization made up of people like you, Heights residents, who want to promote civic engagement through education, advocacy and information on issues that concern them.

Now is the best time to become a member of FutureHeights. Won’t you join us?

FutureHeights is committed to engaging citizens to build a healthy and sustainable future for Cleveland Heights and University Heights neighborhoods. How do we do this?

• Promoting Civic Engagement We hold public forums and host speakers. 
• Publishing the Heights Observer The Heights Observer enables the community to tell its own story. Each month, volunteers help write and edit stories, and anyone can participate. 
• Supporting our Local Economy FutureHeights brought American Independent Business Alliance co-founder, Jeff Milchen, to the Heights in 2010 to discuss the importance of independent businesses to the local economy, and we have helped form a Heights Independent Business Alliance. 
• Creating a Vibrant and Sustainable Future for the Heights FutureHeights is leading the Sustainable Heights Network initiative, which will catapult the Heights to become a local leader in sustainability.
• Building Community Partnerships FutureHeights partners with many community organizations on projects that build upon the assets of our community.
