Jeanett Charles is Co-Founder, along with her husband Marvin, of D.A.D.S. (Divine Alternatives for Dads Services) a non-profit organization located in Seattle, Washington.

Out of her experience with drug abuse, homelessness, the loss of her children to the state, and many other challenges, the Charles built a community/faith based program to provide assistance to fathers who have lost their connection to their children.
Jeanett was raised by a single parent, her father, through the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s, in a time when it was unheard of for a single man to raise a daughter. The commitment, love, time and attention given to her from her father gave her the confidence, courage and strength to overcome many of life’s challenges. These experiences inspire her to help fathers see their importance to their children.

She has been a presenter for the National center for Fathering, Father Daughter Summits. Her travels have carried her from the Midwest to the East Coast giving testimony of the valuable necessity of a father’s love.

Marvin and Jeanett have been married for 11 years. They live in Renton, WA with four children: Jeffery, Devotion, Marvette, and baby Jamie (3/9/09).
