Built from lineage.

Ashle Rodriguez-Perdomos is a community builder, youth advocate, healer, and educator with over a decade of experience in youth-centered systems change. She approaches every engagement the same way she approaches every young person — with full presence, zero assumptions, and a refusal to diagnose before she's listened.

She is the Founder & Executive Director of GOAT Camp Denver, a 501(c)3 youth mentorship nonprofit that has served hundreds of young people across the Denver metro area. That work — relational, culturally grounded, built around the whole person — is the foundation everything else is built on.

The Jackie Project grew directly out of that experience. After years of watching schools import frameworks that didn't fit, run trainings that didn't land, and implement programs that didn't last, Ashle built a practice centered on one simple premise: you have to earn your recommendations by being present first.

She brings that same standard to every school engagement — showing up, sitting in, listening hard, and only then saying what she sees.

Ashle's work is lineage-based — meaning it takes seriously the truth that culture is passed down, not installed. What students inherit from their schools, their educators, and their environments shapes who they become. The Jackie Project exists to make sure what gets passed down is worth carrying.
