from She Supply Chains · host Supply Chain Experts | Katie Holman & Courtney Andersen

As part of our series highlighting non-profit organizations in the Twin Cities, this week, we welcome Batala McFarlane, executive director of Friends of the Children Twin Cities. She’s not just a leader, she’s a visionary who transitioned from a 25-year career in media, helming a family-owned newspaper, to spearheading an innovative mentoring nonprofit. Batala discusses the profound impact of 12-year mentorships for youth facing systemic barriers, and how investing in people—from paid mentors to partners—creates a resilient, impactful supply chain of care. You’ll hear about her passion for literacy, leadership development, and how creating space for rest, joy, and authenticity builds healthier communities. Connect with us! Connect with Batala and Friends of the Children Twin Cities!
