Jacqueline Vickery, Ph.D.
Jacqueline Vickery Consulting, LLC partners with schools, nonprofits, and community organizations to design, evaluate, and grow programs that create meaningful impact in the lives of young people. With nearly two decades of experience in higher education, youth program design and evaluation, and Positive Youth Development, I help organizations build initiatives that are research-based, equitable, and sustainable.
My approach is collaborative and tailored: I listen first, then co-create strategies that reflect each partner’s goals, budget, and community. Whether strengthening media literacy, enhancing youth well-being, or supporting broader educational and community programs, I provide youth-centered, trauma-informed guidance every step of the way.
I help parents, schools, & nonprofits ask the right questions about media and technology.
