The Team

Jessica Heintz was born and raised in Peoria, IL, where she currently resides with her husband and three children. A dedicated advocate for education and community engagement, she is an active volunteer in Peoria Public Schools, leading fundraising efforts, initiatives to connect students with the community and partnering with the Peoria Federation of Teachers to develop a mentorship training that equips community volunteers.

Jessica holds a business degree from Bradley University and has a professional background primarily in the nonprofit sector. After stepping away from full-time work to focus on her family, she dedicated her time to meaningful volunteer roles, contributing to her children’s schools, CASA, and the Center for Prevention of Abuse.

Passionate about creating impactful initiatives, Jessica continues to use her skills in leadership, fundraising, and program development to strengthen her community.
