Meagan Spencer
Meagan joins ParentChild+ as the Chief Advancement Officer where she leads fundraising and communications strategies and implementation from the National Office. As a mother of young children, Meagan connects personally with the mission of ParentChild+ and feels that all families, regardless of their race, socio-economic status, or zip code should have equitable resources to succeed from the start.
Meagan’s initial career aspirations included working in law. However, just a few years into her role as a paralegal, she found her passion for social justice was not integral to her daily work. Upon that realization, Meagan left law and entered the nonprofit sector as a community organizer and grassroots fundraiser. For over a decade, Meagan has worked in various organizations addressing healthcare disparities, food insecurity, educational gaps, and inequities in workforce development in historically marginalized communities.
Outside of work, you can find Meagan caring for a variety of plants while simultaneously trying to dissuade her son from using them for his experiments! She is an avid reader and relishes long car rides for podcast consumption. She loves to travel and has been known to plan trips based solely on the local food scene. Meagan lives in Massachusetts with her partner, her son, and her 3 bonus kids.
