Jaclyn Corin, or “Jackie” to most, is a co-founder and the current Executive Director of March For Our Lives, one of the most prominent youth-led movements in the United States. A survivor of the 2018 mass shooting in Parkland, Florida, Jackie transformed her grief into action and helped transform national outrage into a generational movement — mobilizing one of the largest youth protests in American history. She was instrumental in mobilizing over 2 million participants in 900 marches worldwide in 2018, pushing gun violence to the forefront of the national agenda.
As March For Our Lives’ inaugural Director of Outreach, Jackie led initiatives for voter registration and gun safety education across the country. A natural implementer and strategic organizer, she organized the first major MFOL action — busing 100 Parkland students to the Florida State Capitol just days after the shooting, which helped secure Florida's first gun safety legislation in decades. She was also responsible for launching MFOL’s first chapter program — supporting more than 300 active groups on high school and college campuses — and leading high-impact campaigns to hold the gun lobby and elected officials accountable.
Jackie holds a bachelor’s degree in Government and Education from Harvard University and a Master of Public Policy from the University of Oxford. She returned to March For Our Lives in March 2025 to lead the organization through a transformative new chapter — revitalizing its mission, rebuilding its team, and sharpening its focus on narrative change, political accountability, and youth-driven power. Under her leadership, MFOL is reclaiming its voice as a national force and equipping a new generation to lead the fight for a safer, more just future.
