Founder & Executive Director of Sierra Speaks

Sierra Skipper is the founder and visionary behind Sierra Speaks, a family-focused platform dedicated to empowering parents, equipping young people, and strengthening communities through education, advocacy, faith, and practical resources.

With a passion for serving families and investing in the next generation, Sierra has devoted her career to youth development, mentoring, community engagement, and family support. Her work centers on helping parents build stronger relationships with their children, encouraging positive decision-making among youth, and connecting families with resources that promote growth, resilience, and long-term success.

As a mentor, speaker, educator, certified facilitator and community leader, Sierra has collaborated with churches, schools, nonprofit organizations, and community partners to develop programs that inspire personal growth, strengthen family communication, and encourage healthy lifestyles. Her experience spans youth mentoring, leadership development, family engagement, community outreach, and educational programming.

Through Sierra Speaks, Sierra creates practical, faith-inspired resources that families can use every day. From parenting guides and printable toolkits to youth development materials, mental wellness resources, educational videos, and community resource guides, her mission is to provide families with tools that educate, encourage, and empower.

Sierra is also passionate about creating safe spaces where honest conversations can take place around parenting, mental wellness, healthy relationships, identity, leadership, and personal growth. She believes that when families are equipped with knowledge, support, and hope, they are better prepared to overcome challenges and build brighter futures together.

Her commitment to service extends beyond Sierra Speaks through her ongoing involvement with community organizations, youth initiatives, and outreach efforts focused on strengthening families and expanding opportunities for young people.

Whether speaking at community events, partnering with local organizations, or developing resources for parents and youth, Sierra's purpose remains the same: to inspire hope, encourage meaningful conversations, and empower families with practical tools that make a lasting difference.
