Sadie Lassiter is the Director of the Youth Enrichment Program at Zarephath, where she has spent the past 16 years empowering youth through compassionate and specialized behavioral health services. Her journey into this field was unconventional—after a successful career in corporate America, where financial rewards were plentiful but personal fulfillment was lacking, she decided to make a meaningful change. Driven by a deep desire to help children facing challenges, Sadie transitioned into behavioral health, despite having no formal education or experience in the field. She began at Zarephath by providing basic respite services, but quickly recognized the potential to create a more comprehensive Youth Enrichment initiative. This program, she envisioned, would not only support clients regardless of their diagnosis but also actively nurture their growth. Her dedication and hard work earned her multiple promotions, allowing her to expand and enhance the organization’s behavioral services over time. Today, Sadie’s leadership shapes a program focused on life skills training, group therapy, and behavior management strategies, helping young people grow into confident, productive adults. Outside of her professional life, Sadie is an animal lover, an avid gardener, and has a deep appreciation for history, science, and the mysteries of the universe.
