No dues. No fine print. Just a seat at the table.
Hub Coalition Starke County connects schools, families, healthcare, law enforcement, and neighbors around one goal: a healthier, stronger county. Membership is free and open to anyone who wants to help build it.
Free To Join
For every partner and every resident. We do not require monetary contributions to participate.
- Free training and educational sessions
- Early information on funding opportunities
- A real voice in the Community Action Plan
Partnership built on shared commitment, not a fee.
We ask for your expertise, your ideas, your resources, and your commitment to the community. That is what makes partners of every size equal at the table.
Free training
Educational sessions and professional development at no cost, plus prevention and recovery resources you can put to work immediately.
Networking with community leaders
Sit alongside schools, healthcare, law enforcement, and nonprofits — and collaborate on local initiatives instead of running them alone.
Early word on funding
Member agencies hear first about community grant opportunities. About $38,000 is available for distribution in 2026.
Presence at outreach events
Show up where the county gathers, with the coalition’s backing behind your organization’s work.
A voice in how the work happens
Help shape prevention and recovery efforts across Starke County through the Community Action Plan — not just react to them.

No tiers and no dues-based access. A one-person nonprofit and a county agency carry the same weight in the room.
If you serve Starke County, there's room for you.
Organizations and residents alike. Bring your expertise, not a check.
