Jennifer Knight

Director of Education

Jennifer Knight joins TSOS after working and volunteering in the non-profit and education sectors for two decades. She worked as a program coordinator responsible for curriculum design and training for a national youth program (Especially For Youth), founded and ran a Montessori-based preschool, and volunteered as a child and adolescent religious educator. She also piloted a program in her community to use religion-based storytelling to help children process complex emotions and increase cultural awareness. Her passion for using stories as an educational tool can be seen in her work as co-editor for an anthology on female missionary experiences (Do Not Attempt in Heels: Mission Stories and Advice from Sisters Who’ve Been There), in her contributions to LDS Living magazine, and on her blog (TheBostonKnights.com). Jenn’s desire to work with refugees is fueled by her time studying or working with underserved populations in Mexico, Israel, Taiwan, China, and Bolivia. Jenn earned an MLA in Religion from Harvard University and a BA in International Politics with a minor in Chinese Studies from Brigham Young University. She loves reading, exercising, and traveling with her family. She grew up in Indiana and now resides in Boston with her kids and husband.

What would you do if you had to leave everything behind?

By the end of 2025, more than 117.8 million people worldwide had been forcibly displaced by war, persecution, or human rights abuses — and 45 million of them are children.

They arrive in refugee camps and countries seeking safety and carrying little: legal papers, if they're lucky. A backpack. A child's hand in theirs.

What they carry that we can't see is heavier: fractured families, homes they'll never return to, professions they loved, friends and relatives they may never see again.

In a climate where immigrant stories are often ignored or twisted, we believe stories are a form of justice. When someone shares what they survived, they reclaim their voice. When we amplify it through film, photography, and advocacy, the world listens. Hearts soften. Policy begins to shift.

Because when a lawmaker sees a person instead of a statistic, and a neighbor understands instead of fears, rebuilding becomes possible.

Your support helps us share these stories where they matter most.
