Anna McGovern

Camp Fire Alaska | Light the Fire Within

Director of Afterschool Programs

Anna was born and raised in Massachusetts, but found herself moving to Alaska in 2014, where she served for a year as an AmeriCorps VISTA. That year of service led her family to fall in love with Alaska, and to claim they would stay for “just a few years.” With over 16 years of experience in the youth-serving field, Anna has worn various hats in education, afterschool programs, and public health. Outside of work, you can usually find her chasing after her two boys, reading, traveling, staying active, belting musicals, and frolicking in the Alaskan outdoors.
