Executive Director's Welcome

Theresa McClellan came to The Sneaker Project in March of 2021 following a forty-two year career in education. She retired as Jefferson City High School’s Guidance Director in 2009.

A committed United Way of Central Missouri partnership
County Health nurses
School social workers, nurses and counselors
United Way of Central Missouri Partner agencies that serve area children and youth
