Jane Clayton

Jane Clayton serves as The Policy Project’s Student Ambassador Program Director. After initially organizing events, Jane saw how the Period Project positively impacted students’ lives and turned her focus to creating a program that would benefit students by teaching them skills to get involved in their communities. Student Ambassadors contribute directly to The Policy Project’s success. Ambassadors develop meaningful leadership skills, learn about advocacy and the democratic process, enjoy and share mentoring, build community through service, and learn to articulate and discuss issues with people in authority.

Jane received her B.A. from Brigham Young University in Fashion Merchandising with minors in Business Management and Family Science. Near her graduation from BYU she went to Africa on a Choice Humanitarian trip and her heart was changed forever. She turned her time and attention to the nonprofit sector and has worked for non-profits in Salt Lake, D.C., and southern Utah.

Jane has spent years volunteering in public schools and on nonprofit boards dedicated to helping families and improving the lives and educational environments for children in the community including multiple Community Council Boards, PTA presidencies, and the Iron County Care and Share Emergency Shelter and Food Pantry. Jane Clayton and her husband Whitney reside in Salt Lake City with their four children.
