Find your community. Grow your impact.

One of the greatest strengths of Ohio’s Community Action Network is the opportunity to learn from one another. Whether you’re looking to build new skills, share your expertise, find a mentor, or expand your professional network, OACAA’s peer groups offer a place to connect with professionals in your field who understand your work and the challenges.

OACAA’s peer groups bring together professionals from across the state to exchange ideas, solve problems, and support one another’s growth. No matter where you are in your career, there’s a group for you.
