Pamela M. Stanfield, Ed.D.

Social Justice

After a career as a teacher, principal, and university professor, Dr. Pamela M. Stanfield, chose to continue her life’s work in a more personal way. She now shows up for young people who need it most. As a volunteer citizen deputy juvenile officer, she spends Sunday afternoons at the St. Louis County Juvenile Detention Center sitting with youth, listening, and building trust through steady presence.

She also serves as president of the board of The Covering House, which provides refuge and restoration for children who have experienced sexual exploitation or trafficking. A published author, Pam’s books reflect on her decades in education and mentorship with honesty and insight. Across every role, she offers consistency, respect, and encouragement to young people whose lives have been shaped by hardship.
