Jennifer Klever is the Co-Founder and Executive Director of Pastures of Grace. The seeds of POG were planted years before the nonprofit had a name, as Jennifer and her husband, Mark, began opening their home and family to children who needed a place to belong. Over time, God grew their hearts for a place where women in crisis could slow down, heal, and begin rebuilding their lives.

Today, Jennifer oversees the day-to-day life and mission of The Ranch, walking alongside students, leading the team, and helping create the rhythms of work, community, discipleship, and grace that shape life at Pastures of Grace.

Jennifer and Mark are raising their nine children on The Ranch and continue learning what it looks like to simply do the next right thing with what God has placed in front of them.

Mark Klever is the Co-Founder of Pastures of Grace and currently serves as Dean at Shasta College in Redding, California. The Lord has provided through his work at the college helping support their large family while Mark and Jennifer build and establish this young nonprofit.

When he is at The Ranch, Mark is rarely far from whatever needs doing, working on the property, tackling projects, welcoming people around the table, and helping carry the vision of POG forward.

The hope is that one day his work at Pastures of Grace can become full-time. Until then, the Klevers are grateful for God's provision in this season and trust His timing for the next.

Megan has been volunteering with Pastures of Grace since nearly the beginning, when Jennifer reached out with a fairly simple request: “Can you help me with all the things?” Those “things” quickly became building a website, caring well for donors, and helping POG communicate its story clearly.

Years earlier, Megan had been one of Jennifer’s students at Cal Poly, where Jennifer taught spreadsheet analysis. These days, Jennifer is quick to admit that Megan knows far more than she does—and POG is better for it.

Megan helps keep POG’s website and communications moving forward, but perhaps her greatest gift is the way she cares for our donors. She personally calls to thank people for their gifts.

Megan and her husband are raising their son and daughter, staying active in 4-H and serving in their local church.

Jenn would like you to know that she is new here! After 11 years serving as a paraprofessional in the public elementary school system, she began praying for God to open the door to something new. In the summer of 2026, that door led her to Pastures of Grace.

As Ministry Operations Coordinator, Jenn works alongside the Executive Director to help carry the many everyday details that keep POG moving forward. From connecting with churches and donors to helping plan Farm Nights and events, Jenn is often behind the scenes helping turn an idea into something that actually gets done. Her work helps create more room for the heart of POG, walking alongside women as they encounter hope, healing, and the love of Christ.

Jenn and her husband have called Siskiyou County home since 2008 and have three children. Their two older sons have recently left home to pursue what is next for them, while their daughter is finishing her final year of high school.

Jenn may still occasionally pull the “I’m new here” card, but we’re grateful God opened the door that brought her to POG and excited to see what He has planned for the years ahead.
