#16 Sandy Pricer on Building a New Business as a Parent, Asking for Help, and Equipping Young Adults with Life Skills

The Impact Code

Sandy Pricer is a helper. Armed with a bachelor's and master's in social work, she worked as a caseworker for Chattanooga's Partnership for Families, Children and Adults before starting her own nonprofit in September. Mirroring one of her roles with the Partnership, she offers life skills classes for children ages 13-23 through her 501(c)(3) Rise Up Cooperative. While her focus is on kids in foster care - an audience she has experience with both through the Partnership and her own family - she welcomes all who are interested. Class topics range from practical skills like how to use public transportation to leadership skills like conflict resolution. Some of her own kids' personal favorites have been a Q-and-A session with a police officer and a lesson on money management. Pricer has three biological children and three former fosters whom she and her husband adopted.
