For more than 25 years, Sojourners Care Network has walked alongside children, youth, and families across Appalachian Ohio, providing hope, stability, and opportunities to build brighter futures.

We believe that every young person deserves a safe place to live, meaningful connections, and the support needed to reach their full potential. Through housing, outreach, foster care, family support, workforce development, and community partnerships, we help individuals and families navigate life’s challenges and move toward lasting stability and self-sufficiency.

Each year, our dedicated staff serves hundreds of young people and families in Athens, Gallia, Hocking, Jackson, Meigs, Ross, and Vinton counties. Whether we are helping a young person experiencing homelessness find safe housing, supporting foster families, connecting someone to employment and education opportunities, or strengthening family relationships, our mission remains the same:

To empower people in times of challenge, foster resilience, and create pathways to safe, stable, and hopeful futures.

At Sojourners, we know that lasting change happens through relationships, compassion, and community. We are honored to serve our region and invite you to join us in creating opportunities for every young person and family to thrive.
