JOIN THE STARK COUNTY MENTORING MOVEMENT.

THE RESEARCH PROVES IT.

Mentoring relationships and social capital play a significant role in helping young people build happy, successful and productive lives. Do you want to volunteer to work with young people? Are you a young person looking for job or career connections? Are you a parent seeking a mentoring program for your child?  Our online hub is here to help you find or create an opportunity that is right for you. Check out our local programs on the Community and Career mentoring pages. If you don't find a program that fits, visit the How Can We Help? page and let us know about your needs.

Our goal is to help build connections throughout Canton and Stark County, Ohio!

By Laurie Moline 25 Feb, 2021
Since our launch in April 2020, MentorStark's foremost goal is to be a catalyst to promote more connection in Stark County between young people and trusted adults. We do this by promoting the many high quality mentoring and youth development programs available in Stark County, and by filling career-focused social capital-building gaps in our community. We also do it by educating people about the "mentoring mindset" and how everyone can build supportive and opportunity-enhancing relationships in their lives. We are grateful for the community partners who are helping spread the word about the power of mentoring and who really helped elevate the message in January during National Mentoring Month. If you have missed any of the recent coverage of our work, here is your chance to check it out!
