Sojourners is an asset-based youth development organization serving Appalachian Ohio, Kentucky, and West Virginia.  A nonprofit organization founded early in 1999 by two brothers, Marcus and Richard Games, Sojourners fosters positive development opportunities for children and young adults living in the most distressed counties of Appalachia. 

The organization provides a variety of programs including: residential services, education and GED support, employment training, mentoring, leadership education and service learning opportunities. 

Sojourners continues to thrive due in large part to other people's generosity and their belief in our programs' capacity to change lives. Each contribution to Sojourners, from family foundation grants to corporate gifts to individual contributions, directly improves the lives of at-risk youth in Appalachia in a vital way and we value each and every donation.  

Our individual donors all give according to their level of comfort, income and inspiration. Some donors make an annual contribution to Sojourners while others might make a donation to be used toward a special program,such as our annual Martin Luther King Day celebration or Summer@Sojo, our summer enrichment program for young people in foster care. 

Sojourners also welcomes in-kind donations.

If you would like to discuss your donation, please contact Shelly Horvath at 740-591-6649, or gifts@sojournerscare.net.
