Partners in Building Community

ArkBuilders builds community by partnering. Every program we run is delivered alongside institutions that bring expertise, reach, and resources we couldn’t produce on our own — and we contribute the frontline relationships, cultural fluency, and on-the-ground delivery they need to reach the communities we serve. The organizations below are partners in real work: shared programs, joint grant initiatives, training pipelines, and youth-serving collaborations across Central Ohio.

What We Do Together

• ADAMH Board of Franklin County — community mental-health programming and grant collaborations across Columbus.
• Ohio Behavioral Health — state-level prevention partnerships including the State Opioid Response work.
• NAMI Franklin County — mental health awareness, family education, and youth-focused initiatives.
• Ohio Department of Health — public-health programming and community outreach in underserved Columbus neighborhoods.
• Ohio University — research, evaluation, and academic-community partnership on prevention and workforce development.
• Eileen Asher Graphic Design — long-time design partner supporting ArkBuilders’ visual identity and program materials.

With deep gratitude to every partner listed below.
