Carrie Roche has been active in NCBI Seattle since 1998.  Prior to her current position in the training department of a foster care foundation, Carrie was Associate Director of NCBI Seattle, child-care provider, and counselor.  In the past she has taught Multicultural Studies and Sociology at Shoreline Community College and has been a counselor at residential treatment centers for young people in the Seattle and Boston areas.

A primary passion for her is working with other white people to interrupt the cycle of racism. To this end, she leads NCBI Seattle's Healing White Racism workshop.

A graduate of the University of Washington's Master of Social Work program, Carrie is committed to working on issues of social and economic justice in every realm of her life.  She feels especially committed to this effort as a means to create a positive place for her children to grow.

"I was introduced to the NCBI model of coalition building in 1998, at a time when I was feeling overwhelmed by the inequality in the world around me. I was struggling with finding some way to take action on these issues, rather than just talk about them, and NCBI was exactly what I needed."
