Northern Welcomes New Board Member Beverly G. Woods

Northern Children’s Services is proud to welcome Beverly G. Woods to its Board of Trustees.

Beverly brings more than 30 years of leadership in public service and community development, having worked across both municipal government and community-based organizations. Throughout her career, she has been responsible for organizational development, consensus-building among diverse stakeholders, and advancing equity and quality in public initiatives.

Her work has spanned a wide range of high-visibility community projects, including stabilizing neighborhoods after building collapses and utility failures, coordinating community-based COVID-19 vaccination programs, developing high-quality shelter spaces for families, and implementing heat injury prevention and business preservation programs.

Since retiring in 2024, Beverly has continued to share her expertise as a volunteer with organizations such as Reinvestment Fund, Philly Bridge and Jawn (PB&J), Mission First Housing Group, and the Powelton Village Civic Association, where she resides.

"I’m honored to join Northern’s Board of Trustees and to support its mission of helping children, youth, and families thrive,” Beverly said. “Throughout my career, I’ve worked to build stronger, more equitable communities, and I see Northern’s work as a vital part of that effort."

Northern is honored to welcome Beverly’s experience, perspective, and deep commitment to community well-being. Her lifelong dedication to equity, safety, and opportunity reflects the values that guide Northern’s mission to strengthen children, youth, and families.
