Your Financial Support Will Impact Stark Students

Grateful for Your Support

Thank you so much for being a friend of the Stark Education Partnership! We sincerely hope all is well with you and that you're surrounded by many blessings during this month as we celebrate Thanksgiving. I know that I certainly feel a great deal of gratitude for your participation and support related to our focus on career-connected learning. 

 

As a nonprofit organization, SEP depends fully on the generosity of others to continue this important work. Our annual fundraising campaign, Journey to the Summit, is your opportunity to partner with us as we walk alongside Stark County students in reaching their career summits! Our goal this year is to raise $250,000. We ask that you consider how you can support this endeavor financially.

 

Why Is This Important? 

Finding talent for our local businesses is an ongoing challenge. Right now, we show 7,075 open positions available on the Strengthening Stark Means Jobs website. Our goal is to have a meaningful career plan and several touch points with local businesses for every graduating Stark County senior. Your investment provides a return benefitting local employers by developing and retaining young talent in Stark County.

How Can You Make an Impact?

We hope you share our enthusiasm for making an impact in Stark County and will consider supporting SEP as we raise $250,000. Special recognition will be provided when you give at any of the following five levels:
