ABOUT JACLYNN

Jaclynn started her career in sports management and philanthropy in pro soccer, playing a key role in launching D.C. United’s 501(c)3 charitable arm and managing community relations work for the club. She then headed up a team at the NFL Players Association responsible for the all-player board, charity galas and super bowl events, and launching grassroots movements with NFL coaches and Arena players. Jackie was the youngest leader selected by the NFLPA ED for a prestigious leadership think forum.

With dreams of inviting athletes into the fight for justice, Jackie came to IJM and created "Team Freedom" which has become the leading pro athlete team in the anti-trafficking space in North America. Players have traveled to meet with survivors, advocated in front of heads of state, raised close to 20M, and they are the biggest voice in the fight for IJM having brought the mission in front of hundreds of millions of people. Jackie has represented Team Freedom in sports arenas across the country, on leadership teams for Major League Baseball and the MLBPA, and on Super Bowl Host Committees.

Jackie and her husband, Matt, have two girls, Belle and Madison.

Justice isn’t simply found, you have to fight for it. It is both hard and deeply holy to step into the work of restoring brokenness to beauty.
