Jeanette Williams

"Community is not just something I believe, it is something I have lived, built, and advocated for over two decades."
My name is Jeanette Williams, and I am the Founder and President of Community Caregivers United, Inc. With more than 20 years of hands-on community advocacy experience and a master’s degree in human services, my life’s work has been centered on strengthening families, uplifting youth, and building communities where everyone feels safe, supported, and seen.
​
I founded Community Caregivers United in June 2022 because I saw a growing need for intentional spaces where families could reconnect, youth could express themselves creatively, and communities could rebuild the village that so many of us are missing today. I believe that prevention, connection, and empowerment begin at the community level and that lasting change happens when we invest in people, not just programs.
​
My leadership is rooted in compassion, experience, and professional expertise. I understand the challenges families face, and I am deeply committed to creating solutions that are inclusive, culturally responsive, and sustainable. Every event we organize, every youth we engage in, and every family we support is guided by the belief that strong communities change lives.
​
Community Caregivers United is more than an organization; it is a movement to restore connection, nurture creativity, and remind families that they are not alone. I invite you to stand with us as we continue to build safe spaces, empower the next generation, and strengthen the village we all deserve.
​
Together, we are not just serving the community, we are transforming it.
