Our Team

__________________________

At the heart of the Kakwa Community of Seattle is a team of dedicated leaders who serve with vision, integrity, and compassion. Our leadership reflects the strength of the Kakwa people—rooted in heritage, united in purpose, and committed to building opportunity for generations to come.

Since our founding in 1999, our leaders have guided programs, built partnerships, and inspired community members both in Seattle and abroad. Together, they ensure that the voices of our people are heard, our traditions are celebrated, and our mission continues to grow.
