Stark Social Workers Network

We are improving the quality of life for families, our community, and the world.

Welcome

Since 1996 Stark Social Workers Network has worked to strengthen families in Stark County, teaching life skills and providing hope where often there is none. 

We have earned a reputation within the community as the agency that cares, the agency that gets things done, the agency who helps people others cannot help.

We keep hope alive for people who have very little, by walking alongside them and giving them tools to move from surviving to thriving.
