Washington State voters overwhelmingly support investing in our kids, and especially early education and child nutrition.
This is key because research shows the first five years of children’s lives are critically important for their development.
We’re training everyday Evergreen Staters to be the voice for kids.
We’re committed to ensuring all children succeed in school and life.
“Working with SCAN has changed not only my life but my kids’ life beyond measure.” -Tienaya Godes, Volunteer Leader
Natasha Fecteau Minger
Washington State Manager
Natasha Fecteau Minger serves as Washington State Manager for Save the Children Action Network. Her maternal grandmother was born in Belkofski, Alaska. Her family is Unangan. Natasha lives in Kitsap County, Washington, on the traditional lands of the Suquamish people. Her son is also an enrolled member of the Port Gamble S'Klallam Tribe. Like many Native aunties, she is connected to a wide circle of nieces, nephews, and young people through community and kinship.
A longtime advocate for children and families, Natasha has been fighting for access to high-quality childcare since her son was a baby and continues that work as he prepares to begin his second year of college. Deeply rooted in Kitsap County, she believes civic engagement is essential to healthy, thriving communities.
Natasha lives with her husband, Jeff, their son, three cats, and a dog. When she's not working or planning her next camping trip, you can usually find her in her garden.
