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 Board of Directors
- A generous 4-county community
- 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
