What is your mission, and who do you serve?

Challenge Ministries provides clients with Job Readiness Training Classes, wrap-around services including assistance with employment-related bus passes, interview and work clothing, resume development, etc., as well as mentoring relationships.
We serve individuals in Stark County, with locations in Alliance, Massillon, and Canton.
