ACADEMIC TUTORING AND FINANCIAL LITERACY EDUCATION!
SAFF is so very grateful for the grants from the private foundations that allow us to tutor high school, middle school, and elementary school children in foster and adoptive homes, and we thank the social workers with WASHOE COUNTY SOCIAL SERVICES for caring so deeply and passionately about our tutoring program.
Welcome Keri
My name is Keri Pruitt and I am the new Program Coordinator,Educational Liaison for Washoe County Dept. of Social Services.
I have lived in the Reno area since 1990 and returned to school as a non-traditional student in 2000, earning my MPH (master of public health) degree from UNR, where my daughter is now a senior and on track to graduate this spring.
Most recently I have had the great opportunity to work with grass-roots non-profit organizations such as Saint Mary's Mission Outreach as program director for a special outreach program called Kids to Seniors Korner and also as a grants analyst TMCC .
I am excited to have the opportunity to participate in the difference that essential partnerships such as Washoe County Social Services and SAFF can make in the lives of the kiddos that need our help the most.
