About Us – The Connect PNW
The Connect PNW is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to building stronger, more connected communities across the Pacific Northwest. Led by Sarah Childs—a San Diego native who has spent years rooted in the Seattle area—our mission is driven by her deep passion for people and purpose. Sarah believes that when we create spaces for connection, healing, and collaboration, we lay the foundation for families to thrive and legacies to grow. Whether through community events, partnerships, or outreach, The Connect PNW exists to bring people together and inspire unity, one connection at a time
.
“In every community, there is work to be done. In every heart, there is the power to do it.”
Our Mission
At The Connect PNW, our mission is to connect resources, build community, and impact lives. We do this by offering culturally responsive, trauma-informed programs, events, and services that support youth and families. Through intentional relationships and equitable access to essential tools, we create spaces where healing, empowerment, and legacy-building can thrive.
Our Vision
We envision a future where youth and families are supported, connected, and equipped to break generational cycles.
A future where our communities lead with purpose, have access to opportunity, and carry forward a legacy of strength, resilience, and unity
