Jacquelyn Campos

Mentor

Jacqui Campos is grateful for growing up in Truckee, where she has had the privilege of being surrounded by nature’s beauty and close-knit community. Her parents and family instilled in her a love for the outdoors through activities like biking, camping, hiking, and nature walks. Programs like Aim High and Adventure Risk Challenge, in which she first experienced backpacking, deepened her connection to nature and the power it brings.

In 2019, Jacqui graduated from Truckee High School and went on to attend Pitzer College, becoming the first in her family to earn a degree. She graduated with a major in human biology, with an emphasis on cross-cultural health and healing. After college, she served as a community health fellow with Project Horseshoe Farm in rural Alabama. There, she discovered her passion for working with youth and promoting health and well-being. This transformative experience inspired her to return to her roots and serve her community. As a proud Latina of Mexican descent, she is especially committed to supporting the Spanish-speaking community in Truckee.
