I have an abnormal love for community.

Jordan Killebrew (he, him, his) has an abnormal love of community. He has joined the senior leadership team at SBCC as Executive Director, Public Affairs & Communications. Previously, he served as Santa Barbara County District 2 Representative, working with County Supervisor Laura Capps and at the Santa Barbara Foundation in the capacity of Director of Communications, where in both roles, his work resembled his passion for strategy, public relations, and relationship building.

Before joining SBCC, Jordan was also a marketing & graphic design consultant, working with companies, nonprofits, and government in Santa Barbara County. Jordan also founded Project IV Love, the inspiration that helped raise over $50k for the Love and Remembrance Garden in Isla Vista in its inaugural year. This garden is a community effort that honors the students who lost their lives in the Isla Vista shootings in 2014.

Jordan serves several communities via his engagement with local organizations; he is a co-founder of Juneteenth Santa Barbara, an advisory board member for UCSB Healing Space at Hosford Clinic, a member of Music Academy Compeer Committee, a volunteer for Healing Justice Santa Barbara, a former board member of Endowment for Youth Community, a former member of the Santa Barbara Independent Advisory Board, and a former commissioner on the Community Formation Commission to provide structure to build a civilian oversight of the Santa Barbara Police Department. He formerly also served on the Pacific Pride Festival Committee with Pacific Pride Foundation for over six years.

Jordan holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design from the University of California, Santa Barbara, where he served as a Resident Assistant and Associated Students Program Board member. When Jordan is not working, you may find him in Santa Barbara with his partner, York Shingle, at the beach, biking around town, or volunteering.
