One of our values at SEEC is to serve, and this value extends into the community! Recently, some of our SEEC staff had the opportunity to volunteer with Feed My Starving Children. They were able to help pack almost 80,000 meals!

Meet Jennie, CCA's new Referral Specialist 💙❤️

About Jennie:
"I am proud to have a diverse professional background, with each opportunity providing valuable and meaningful experience. I spent seven years working at a cupcake shop, where I held nearly every role within the business and gained a strong foundation in operations, customer service, and teamwork. I later worked as a Business Operations Associate at Microsoft, where I developed analytical, organizational, and cross-functional collaboration skills. Most recently, I worked in technology sales for a local technology company, further strengthening my communication, relationship-building, and strategic thinking abilities. Although these roles were quite different from one another, each helped me build a unique set of skills and, most importantly, clarified the type of work I am most passionate about."

A fun fact?
"I just became an aunt to the sweetest little niece ever!"

Welcome to the team, Jennie!

Tutor Spotlight

Lisa joined Reading Corps with a heart for helping children grow -both academically and in confidence. With a genuine love for reading and a passion for encouragement, she's become a steady source of support for students at Gussner Elementary School who just need that extra nudge in the right direction.

Her favorite part of tutoring? The relationships built over time. Knowing students look forward to their reading sessions and truly enjoy learning together means everything. And while graduation day is bittersweet, it’s also a proud moment seeing students move on with stronger skills and confidence makes every moment worthwhile.

Lisa wants everyone to know that Reading Corps is one of the most rewarding experiences you can have. The impact goes far beyond the present, setting students up for long-term success, and tutors are never alone. With constant support, encouragement, and all the tools needed to succeed, it’s truly a well-supported and meaningful program.

We’re so grateful for tutors like you who make such a lasting difference!
