Natasha Bader (she/her)

Interim Executive Director

natasha@sjwomenscentre.ca

For over two decades, Natasha has worked with non-profit organizations across multiple provinces, bringing a person-centred, community-minded approach to leadership and advocacy. Deeply committed to supporting vulnerable populations, Natasha is passionate about creating more inclusive communities and advancing meaningful supports for women and gender-diverse people who have experienced or are experiencing intimate partner violence. Throughout her career, Natasha has built strong relationships across community organizations and non-profit sectors, working collaboratively to strengthen services, amplify voices, and create positive change. She brings a thoughtful and compassionate leadership style grounded in respect, dignity, and the belief that everyone deserves to feel heard, valued, and supported.

At the heart of Natasha’s work is a belief in the strength, capacity, and potential of individuals and communities. She is passionate about building meaningful connections, breaking down barriers, and creating spaces where people feel respected, included, safer, and empowered to move forward. Known for her collaborative spirit and genuine care for people, Natasha brings both extensive experience and a strong sense of purpose to everything she does. She believes meaningful change happens when communities come together, listen to lived experiences, and work collectively toward a more equitable and compassionate future.
