Natasha Wright
Program Director

Natasha is joining Someone Else’s Child with over 15 years of experience working with children and families experiencing poverty, homelessness, and involvement with the Massachusetts legal system.  She is passionate about equalizing outcomes for children who come from under resourced communities and providing equal access to opportunities for success and resources.

Natasha worked at Project Hope Boston, a nonprofit organization committed to partnering with families in the Roxbury/North Dorchester community on a pathway out of poverty for 13 years.  Starting out as a Case Manager in 2008, and then advancing to the position of Coordinator before taking a two-year break and returning as the Director of Housing Services in 2018. While at Project Hope, Natasha supported families that were experiencing housing instability navigate the courts and various social systems in their efforts to create better futures for themselves and their children.  In collaboration with her team, Natasha worked with other community partners in the fields of education, healthcare, and government to provide advocacy, resources, education, and other services to families in the Roxbury and Dorchester community.

In addition to homelessness prevention work with Project Hope, Natasha worked as a certified Children and Family Law Practitioner and Mental Health Law Practitioner in the Massachusetts’ court system and as a Professor at Quincy College and Bunker Hill Community College.  As a legal practitioner and educator, Natasha has worked directly with families and youth, helping them navigate the juvenile justice and Family Court system as well as other social systems that both directly and indirectly impact social equality.

Natasha graduated from Boston University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science.  She then went on to complete her Master of Arts Degree in Sociology from University of Massachusetts, Boston, and subsequently her Juris Doctor Degree at New England Law. She lives in Dedham with her three young adult children, Michael, Brianna, and Jemaih.
