Meet Lissete Frausto, Case Manager

We are proud to have team members who bring not only professional experience to their work, but also deep compassion and lived understanding of the challenges many families face. Case Manager Lissete Frausto is one of those people.

Lissete is a caring and compassionate advocate dedicated to helping clients connect with essential resources and support systems. Whether assisting families with navigating services or helping individuals access critical community programs, she approaches every interaction with empathy, patience, and a genuine desire to help others succeed.

Before joining TCCC, Lissete built a strong reputation as a parent organizer and early childhood education advocate. Her leadership and commitment to empowering families earned her community recognition, including being named the 2024 recipient of the Phyllis K. Friedman – Retha Smith Robinson Community Leadership Award by the San Francisco Foundation. The award honors emerging women-of-color leaders making a meaningful impact in their communities.

In the Foundation’s feature article, “Community Parenting: How One Mom Turned Trauma into Action,” Lissete shared the deeply personal experience that inspired her advocacy journey. After her infant son suffered injuries at an unsafe daycare facility, she became determined to help create safer, more supportive systems for children and families. Through her work with Kidango, she trained and empowered parents to advocate for policies improving access to childcare and early learning opportunities throughout California.

That same passion for advocacy continues to shape her work at TCCC today. Lissete understands how overwhelming it can feel to ask for help, and she works hard to ensure every client feels heard, respected, and supported.

Outside of work, Lissete is a proud mother who enjoys spending her days off making memories with her family. Her dedication to both her community and her loved ones reflects the heart she brings into everything she does.

We are grateful to have Lissete as part of the TCCC team and proud to celebrate the positive impact she continues to make every day.
