As co-founder of Children of the Nations (COTN), Debbie Clark has been with COTN since the beginning and wears many hats in the organization. For the first sixteen years, Debbie helped with the development of the sponsorship program, and also spent time overseeing the development of the Venture and Resource Programs. Her current role, however, is that of Senior Director of International Programs, where she oversees the developmental programs affecting our children.
A graduate of Seattle Pacific University with a degree in Education, Debbie spent eight years teaching behavior-disordered children in the public school system. Her love for children went farther during the period of years when she and her husband, Chris, were foster parents. “We had many newborn babies as well as teens in and out of our home,” she says.
Debbie loves water sports, skiing, traveling and opening her home to entertain. She and her husband, Chris, have three children and live in Silverdale, Washington.
Devvie also serves on the COTN–USA Board of Directors.
