Jada Wakefield joined CLC as the Development & Marketing Coordinator in 2025, where she will help advance CLC's mission of protecting and empowering youth. Before this role, Jada gained experience in both the corporate and nonprofit sectors—working within the New Business Analyst team at Western & Southern and later joining the development team at Crayons to Computers, an organization dedicated to educational equity through resource access for teachers and students.

As a proud Cincinnati native, Jada has long been committed to creating meaningful change in our communities, with a special focus on child development and equity. Growing up, she witnessed firsthand how societal disadvantages affected friends, classmates, and family, limiting access to the resources every child deserves for healthy growth and opportunity. These early experiences inspired a lifelong passion for advocacy and service. She began volunteering with local youth groups and later served with the “Kids Club” at Crossroads Church, helping support children through mentorship and engagement.

Jada is thrilled to be part of a team that shares her passion for building brighter futures for all children and looks forward to furthering the impact of such an amazing mission.
