Born and raised in Daly City/San Francisco, Jessica Campos is currently the lead of Community Engagement for the SF Office of Racial Equity, through the Human Rights Commission. She grounds truths and meaningfully connects ORE’s work in multi-racial, multilingual communities to support the work to eliminate racial disparities in employment, housing, criminal justice, economic advancement, health, transit, education, homelessness and other social outcomes.

Before joining the ORE, Jessica served as the manager of a Head Start/Early Head Start program in District 10, serving the most vulnerable populations. Through a strength-based model, she developed an environment in which children were seen and heard as active learners and participants in their community. Jessica created a network of resource providers to connect families with essential supports, such as housing, food and clothing.

Her passion for change guides her to advocate in different levels of community, from being a mentor with City of Dreams to a member of the Board of Directors with Early Care Educators San Francisco. Keeping a clear understanding that community collaboration and engagement is key when at the table with leaders about events, spaces and policies supports in addressing equity and intentionality.
