Jewel Navarette joined the Young America’s Foundation team as a program officer for campus advancement at the Reagan Ranch Center. Jewel attended her first YAF conference in 2022 in Washington, D.C., where she was inspired to start a YAF chapter at New Mexico State University. As founding chapter chairwoman, Jewel organized the 9/11: Never Forget Project, participated in several pro-life initiatives, and hosted a campus lecture featuring Matt Walsh. The Walsh lecture garnered more than 500 attendees and 300 protestors. In retaliation to the lecture, a leftist state lawmaker called for unconstitutional restraint on student speech. With the help of YAF, Jewel fought back and advocated for freedom of speech at NMSU. In recognition of her efforts, her chapter was named Rookie Chapter of the Year in 2023.
 Jewel now gets to use her campus experience to train the next generation of conservative activists. Jewel is originally from El Paso, Texas. In her free time, she enjoys listening to music, exploring the outdoors, and spending time with her family and friends.
