New Partnership with COhatch Milford

COhatch, a coworking and shared office and event space, recently opened its newest location in Cincinnati in downtown Milford. We’re excited to share that Autism Society Greater Cincinnati has been selected as COhatch’s Give Scholar, which means we will have access to the coworking and meeting spaces that COhatch offers in its new building, at no charge to our organization. This opens up opportunities for in-person collaboration with our staff, and also allows us to explore new meeting locations when we return to in-person programming and support groups.

COhatch has three private offices left at the new Milford location and are opening two new locations in the Cincinnati area at Kenwood and Findlay Market. You can find out more about COhatch by clicking the button below.
