Cierra Witter Jenkins

Program Director - Jasper County

Born and raised in South Carolina, it was only natural that Cierra would dedicate her whole career to making a difference in South Carolina. Joining RCI in 2022, she discovered that she could connect on a deep, personal level with her mentees because she herself is a graduate of the Jasper County Public Schools. During her junior year in high school, she began working with middle school students who were struggling academically, igniting a lifelong passion that has led her to positions as a classroom teacher and parent educator and as a specialist with hospital pediatric units. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Early Childhood Education from the University of South Carolina-Beaufort and is certified through SC Endeavors in Special Needs, Family Childcare, Early Childhood, and other areas of advocacy intervention. To further equip herself in her role at RCI, she is pursing a degree in Social Work at Walden University.  

Cierra believes in Real Champions because our work makes a difference. Every child needs reassurance and guidance to navigate the different emotions and experiences that accompany life transitions and, as an Advocate Mentor, Cierra can provide that kind of support, not only to her own three beautiful children, but to so many others.
