While in office (2013–17), Jewell supported a collaborative, landscape-level approach to sustainable natural resources management. She worked with indigenous communities across the country in upholding treaty rights and honoring cultural practices, and focused on connecting all people, especially youth, to nature. Prior to serving on President Obama’s cabinet, Jewell was the president and CEO of REI.
Since leaving government, Jewell has engaged with students at Harvard University, the University of Washington, and several youth-serving organizations. She is active on corporate and nonprofit boards, and remains committed to addressing our world’s environmental challenges.
