Stacie Sawyer, M.Ed
As Co-Founder and Director of Youth Empowerment Programs of The Taylor Legacy Foundation, I lead the design and delivery of youth programs focused on education, life skills, and workforce readiness. With more than three decades of experience in education, teaching, and career pathways development, I bring deep expertise in designing programs that help young people transition successfully into adulthood.
At the foundation, I oversee all programmatic efforts, including curriculum development, life skills training, and workforce readiness initiatives. I also build and maintain partnerships with schools, employers, and community organizations to create meaningful opportunities for youth development and long-term success.
My work centers on creating structured, engaging, and developmentally appropriate programs that equip young people with the skills and confidence needed for independent adulthood. I oversee program strategy, curriculum design, and community partnerships that expand opportunities for the youth we serve.
