New Faces: Summer Aletky

Born and raised in Texas, Summer Aletky is a true “Austin-ite”.  Having lived there since she was sixteen, she was engrossed by the culture and thrived in a career as a restaurant manager.  In 2008 she moved to Waco and enrolled in the social work undergraduate program at McLennan Community College.

Before joining the Big Brothers Big Sisters team, she served as Director of Transitional Living for Women at The Freeman Center, a program which she built from the ground-up.  Ever the busy-bee, Summer loves to volunteer her time and energy to support important causes in our community.  She has been on the club team and served as volunteer staff member for Jesus Said Love.  She also served for a year and a half on the Board of Directors for The Freeman Center before taking on the role of director.

She has a loving husband who works for a hospice supply company and loves to cycle. She is also the mother of a teenage son who loves to disc golf, so keep her in your prayers!

Summer says that Waco has been a wonderful place to explore faith and grow in this community. She is grateful and humbled to be working alongside some of this cities brightest women and reputable organizations.
