Jenn Corbett leads everything she does with passion and expertise – it is what Azusa Pacific University calls a Difference Maker. I have seen Jenn work in a variety of contexts, including: teaching workshops, serving as a panelist to our nursing students, working as a public health nurse, and founding a nonprofit. Whatever the context, Jenn loves to solve problems in order to see the disenfranchised thrive. It is her love for community health and education which makes Jenn an outstanding clinician. She is a natural educator and a personal powerhouse.
Warrior For Children was created to fill the gaps in the county system in order to practically meet the needs of the communities in which she serves. Warrior For Children is the culmination of Jenn’s passion and expertise. As an alumna of Azusa Pacific University and the School of Nursing, we are proud to identify Jenn Corbett as our distinguished graduate.

I have known Jenn and worked alongside her serving our children and families that have come from hard places. Jenn’s contagious passion for these children is what drives her to leave no stone unturned in helping them access resources, care, therapy, and felt safety. By meeting basic needs, Warrior For Children is able to provide a foundation of support that these families might not have otherwise had. During COVID-19, she never wavered. She still showed up. She pushed into the hard places even deeper and cared for those that needed it most during a time that can easily retrigger past traumas. I was moved by how Warrior For Children was able to show up and serve not only tangible needs but also social emotional needs. The most important need they fill: that no one, no child, no family, is alone or forgotten. Jenn and Warrior For Children truly live the motto “in this together.”

I have witnessed Jenn in various settings representing Warrior 9 and Warrior For Children. She is a fierce leader, passionate speaker, and lives out what it means to help and care for children. I have learned so much by going to events at which she has spoken. Jenn has received both recognition and respect for her work, not only because of her experience and knowledge, but for her heart and compassion. I enjoy collaborating with her when given the opportunity and am honored by any chance that I get to partner with her!

Jenn Corbett hits it out of the park. She’s street smart, wise, empathetic, and full of energy. Our organization has engaged Jenn’s counsel on numerous occasions and on a variety of issues. We’re grateful for her gifts, talents, and passions; we’re better because of her time with us.

I love partnering with Jenn and Warrior For Children! I’m a youth pastor working with Junior High and High School students. We had Jenn come in to train our staff to help create a greater awareness and sensitivity to trauma that students may have faced. She also went the next step and gave us a ton of resources at a local, state, and national level. Jenn’s passion to meet young people in the middle of their hurts and pain is rivaled only by her passion to help equip us to help be part of their journey of healing. I’m excited to see where Warrior For Children goes next, and equally excited to go with them!

I have had the pleasure of knowing Jenn Corbett and her family for over 15 years. They are a faith-based family who consistently lead with their hearts in every way imaginable. This characteristic is not a trait exclusive to Jenn, it is exemplified in her husband, Doug, and their children as well.
If I had to pick just one characteristic that I admired most about Jenn, it would be impossible. Actually, there would be a tie between her ethics and giving spirt. While most might think that these two traits are one in the same, they are not. Jenn’s ethics compliment her giving spirit and vice versa. We all know people who portray one or both of these characteristics, but it is rare to find one who practices both of them more fervently than Jenn. Warrior For Children would not exist had Jenn not been blessed with the ability to use her God-given gifts to the extreme measure that she does.
In short, the world is a better place with Jenn Corbett in it.

I first learned of Warrior for Children and Jenn when Jenn spoke on a panel discussion at the 2019 Women’s Leadership Conference. I was serving as the ASIST (Adult Students in Scholastic Transition) Chair for the Pomona Valley Chapter of Executive Women International. We provide annual scholarships to non-traditional students.
After the awards presentation and hearing their heart-touching stories, Jenn immediately approached the women whose children had experienced trauma, offering her support and services. I was so impressed with her compassion and knowledge that I knew she would be a great resource. I had been looking for someone to educate our childcare staff on how to work with children with behavior issues. We connected, Jenn came out and did a fantastic job educating our associates. It was very well received and appreciated by all.
Recently, I asked Jenn if she would serve as a Judge for the 2020 ASIST Scholarship Program. Again, Jenn came through, spending countless hours reviewing applications, etc., even with all the craziness of the coronavirus going on. I could not thank Jenn enough for all that she has done personally for me, but also for the work that she does for the children and the families in our community.

I have worked with Jenn on a transdisciplinary medical and developmental team for over two years. She serves as the Public Health Nurse for the team. She has many roles including educator, evaluator, advocate and nurse. Jenn is an inspiration to work with; she truly is a warrior for children. She approaches each client with compassion, every roadblock with tenacity, and each case with vast knowledge and experience in the world of childhood trauma. Her goal is for every child to receive the medical and developmental services that they need, and she perseveres until this goal is met. The world of childhood trauma is ridden with darkness and sorrow, one that a person could easily sink under the weight of. But Jenn carries this burden willingly and fiercely, knowing that is what is needed of her in order to create change in the lives of her clients. I am blessed to have known and worked with Jenn, and look forward to many more years of learning from her as a fellow professional!
