Hannah's House 119

"Every kid is ONE caring adult away from being a success story" -Josh Shipp

Hannah's House 119 is a non-profit organization depending, in faith, on God's provision through grants and private donations from those who want to partner with us in breaking the cycle, helping young people rise above their circumstances, making a better life for themselves and becoming a contributing citizen of their communities.

Hannah's House 119 is more than a physical place; it's a support system for the many young women of Stark County who often have no one to count on. With a growing set of programs and mentors to offer guidance, life skill training and opportunity, we lessen the odds of them falling into homelessness, sexual exploitation, gangs, joblessness or imprisonment.
Be a part of helping others rise above their circumstances!

WHO WE ARE

Our Roots

Founded in 2013 by Pastor Patti Hostetler, we started our first mentoring group at CHOICES High School in the spring of 2015.  Since then, we have grown to have mentoring programs in over 9 school districts throughout Stark County.  Our focus includes girls in 6th-12th grade.  We also have an ever growing Girls Clubs for our most at-risk and court referred girls, including sex-trafficking victims.

Our Vision is that all young women have the support and resources necessary to grow physically, emotionally and spiritually into healthy adults.

Mission Statement: Mentoring young women of Stark and Carroll counties to help them build their social and emotional assets, encouraging them to rise above their circumstances.

​

​Hannah's House 119 carries out this mission by connecting young, at risk women, and sex-trafficked individuals, to mentors. Mentors are committed to offering them support and guidance along with resources and opportunities to help make the transition into adulthood successful.

WHAT WE DO

Hannah's House 119 offers several different programming options to meet the needs of each individual youth.  We believe that prevention is key and provide programming that educates our youth about the risks and signs of sexual exploitation.  We provide life skill training to give our youth the tools needed to be successful in life and build upon the 40 Developmental Assets.  Hannah’s House believes that “every” child is just one decision away from becoming a statistic.  We also believe that ONE caring adult can be the KEY to their  success.
