Achievement Consultation Services Achievement Consultant

With more than three decades of experience in education, family engagement, and community development, Ms. Tracy Snyder exemplifies the mission of Ruth’s Way’s Consulting Services — empowering parents to strengthen their families, overcome barriers, and achieve lasting generational success.

Ms. Tracy’s journey in service began in 1990 at the Braddock Carnegie Library, where she volunteered as an after-school instructor and soon advanced to the role of Choose Right Coordinator, leading life skills and self-esteem programs for girls. She later served as the library’s Educational Coordinator, managing multiple after-school tutorial sites across Allegheny County and creating year-round programming that nurtured both youth and families.

Throughout her career, Ms. Tracy has held pivotal roles that reflect her passion for mentorship, education, and empowerment. While working with the Early Childhood Initiative (ECI), she supported licensed childcare providers in earning accreditation and enhancing program quality. She also launched mentoring programs that connected high school students with pre-adjudicated youth, fostering guidance, accountability, and self-belief among participants.

After transitioning into the corporate sector as a Benefits Opportunity Specialist with CVS Health, Ms. Tracy faced a decade-long health challenge that reshaped her perspective on resilience, faith, and advocacy. That personal journey deepened her commitment to helping others navigate systemic and emotional barriers — especially parents working to rebuild stability and confidence within their homes.

Today, as a Strength-Based Family Worker (SFW) Credentialed Professional through The Allegheny County Department of Human Services (DHS), Ms. Tracy integrates her wealth of experience and lived wisdom into Ruth’s Way’s Blueprint-To-Achievement™ model. She helps parents identify and resolve barriers, set SMART goals, and strengthen communication to foster emotionally healthy, goal-oriented family environments.

Ms. Tracy is also continuing her education at the Community College of Allegheny County, demonstrating her ongoing commitment to lifelong learning and professional growth. In her free time, she enjoys reading, meditation, Bible study, and creating jewelry with her granddaughters for their business, Saneramox IAm.

For Ms. Tracy, working with Ruth’s Way’s Consulting Services represents both a homecoming and a rebirth — an opportunity to “come out of the wilderness” and once again use her hands, heart, and voice to guide parents toward transformation that echoes for generations.
