Local Youth Honored!

Marion County Children Services · October 27, 2026 ·

Congratulations to Kamira on receiving the Ohio Leaders of Tomorrow Award from Public Children Services Association of Ohio
Our hearts are truly full as we celebrate this incredible milestone. Kamira’s journey reflects courage, growth, and a powerful resilience that continues to inspire everyone around her. Her leadership and determination shine brightly, reminding us why we believe so deeply in the young people we serve.
Marion County Children Services is honored to stand beside Kamira as she receives this well‑deserved recognition. Please join us in cheering her on and celebrating this remarkable achievement. We are so proud of you, Kamira! 🎉💛
As part of her nomination for this award, Kamira submitted a powerful essay telling her story. In the essay, Kamira writes, “If my voice could change anything, I would change the way people treat children who come from abusive, neglectful, and unstable homes. They suffer in silence, hoping someone notices. I want more awareness of the struggles of children in these homes, but also of those children in foster care. I strive to inspire people to reach out, support, and remind children and even those who have emancipated out of foster care that their life is worth living. Every child deserves to feel safe, valued, and loved.”

Local Donates Books for our Kiddos!

We’re thrilled to recognize Lindsey Guitar of PaperPie Learning for her remarkable generosity. Thanks to her efforts and the kindness of her community, children served by our agency who are living outside their homes each received a bag filled with books at no cost. Lindsey’s dedication to young readers makes a tremendous impact, and we’re grateful for her unwavering support.
