Building collective power to transform early childhood systems

Pathwaves WA creates pathways for leaders of color to hold decision-making roles in early childhood systems so they can equitably drive and shape the design of policies that affect future generations of our kids and our communities.

About us
Our Mission

The Pathwaves Fellowship

The Pathwaves Fellowship is a 20-month fellowship that brings BIPOC individuals into the field of early childhood policy. The Fellowship is employment- and cohort-based, and it posts Fellows in placement sites, which are organizations doing early childhood policy work in Washington state.

Our Staff and Board

Pathwaves WA was founded in 2021 by a collective of women and non-binary people of color. We come from many diverse backgrounds and experiences, but our shared goal and passion is to make early childhood policies and systems more just and inclusive.
