Cambria Cline

Co-founder and Vice Chair, Youth Champions

Cambria Cline is the Co-Founder and Vice Chair of Youth Champions, a nonprofit she and her husband, Jack Cline, founded in 2017 to help underserved high school students build the mindset, skills, confidence, and opportunities they need to succeed in college, career, and life. Cambria has played an integral role in developing Youth Champions from its earliest days into a growing organization serving more than 650 students each year.

Cambria brings more than two decades of experience in nonprofit development, marketing, communications, and community engagement to her work with Youth Champions. She spent 15 years as Vice President of Development and Marketing at the Orange County School of the Arts, where she helped advance one of the nation’s leading public charter arts schools through fundraising, marketing, and community partnerships. Earlier in her career, she worked in public relations and marketing with The Benjamin Group and RiechesBaird agencies and supported the Northland Family Help Center, a domestic violence shelter, where she developed the organization’s first community awareness campaign.

Cambria earned her bachelor’s degree in public relations from Northern Arizona University. Today, she continues to devote much of her time to education, youth development, and philanthropy. She serves on several nonprofit boards and actively supports organizations throughout Southern California, bringing her experience in fundraising, communications, and community engagement to causes she cares deeply about.

At the heart of Cambria’s work is a belief that a young person’s circumstances should never determine the opportunities available to them. She is especially committed to helping students gain access to the mentors, real-world experiences, and life skills that can change the trajectory of their futures.

Cambria and Jack have a blended family of four children and three grandsons. Family is at the center of her life, and when she’s not working with Youth Champions or volunteering in the community, she enjoys spending time with them and traveling.
