Family Promise of Summit County is pleased to welcome Brittnee Smith to its Case Management Team!
Brittnee joined Family Promise of Summit County as an intern in the Fall of 2022 and spent her senior year providing Trauma Informed Care for the families we serve. Brittnee received her Bachelor of Arts in Social Work, Summa Cum Laude, in May 2023.

“Brittnee has proven to be a dedicated learner since she began her internship in August 2022. She is never afraid to ask questions and goes the extra mile to ensure that families have the resources they need to navigate through homelessness and achieve sustainable independence. Brittnee arrives every day with a positive attitude and takes a “whatever-it-takes” approach to achieving the goals of the mission,” said Erica Ward Cherry, Senior Case Manager. “We are thrilled to have Brittnee as an official member of the Family Promise team and look forward to witnessing the amazing work she is capable of.”
