Lucy Jarvis joined El Pomar Foundation as a member of the 2024 Fellowship class. As a 1st Year Fellow, Lucy supports the Alumni Relations, Recruiting, and PeOPLE programs, as well as the High Country and San Luis Valley regional councils.
Growing up in a military family, Lucy spent her childhood moving frequently, living in places such as Japan and Germany, before settling in Colorado Springs at the age of 10. She graduated from The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) in May 2025 with a degree in Political Science and a minor in Sociology. During her time at Penn State, Lucy was passionate about leading Young Life College, helping freshmen feel welcomed and find a community they love! She also enjoyed her time serving on the executive board of a service organization on campus where she had the chance to serve others in the State College area as well as her fellow students. While studying Political Science, Lucy’s favorite class was Political Psychology which sparked a strong interest in learning why individuals hold certain beliefs and why they remain committed to them.
Having lived in Colorado Springs for 12 years, Lucy has developed a deep appreciation for the city and Colorado as a whole. She is excited to take part in the work El Pomar does to better the state and serve its people.
In her free time Lucy loves coffee dates with her friends, road trips, thrifting, hiking, and reading a good book.
