Fall Spotlight Stark County applications are now being accepted.

Participants will identify and develop personal strengths, gain exposure to numerous community leaders and organizations, and explore issues and opportunities in our community. For Stark County to adapt and thrive, it is essential that young professionals work, play, and stay in our community. The Spotlight program can be a key element to helping young professionals learn all that our community has to offer, make connections with a variety of people, and find their niche for meaningful service.
