Zeva Levine is the Service & Education Coordinator at the Tucker Foundation, a position serving three major programs: the Alternative Spring Break (ASB), Language in Motion (LIM), and Summer Enrichment at Dartmouth (SEAD) programs. This is a new position both at the Tucker Foundation and for Zeva, and it will build on the work she did for the ASB and SEAD programs as the 2008-2009 AmeriCorps VISTA for National Service at the Tucker Foundation.
Zeva is a graduate of Beloit College in Wisconsin (2008), and during her college career she worked in the offices of student activities, public affairs, alumni affairs, as a tutor at the writing center, and as an orientation leader for the first-year initiatives program.
Zeva’s academic life at Beloit included receiving a Venture Grant to study tropical marine ecology in the Bahamas in 2004, studying abroad in New Zealand in Spring 2007, and completing an honors thesis in philosophy that examined the political concept of “racial colorblindness” from a moral standpoint.
Zeva initially came to the Tucker Foundation in 2008 because she was interested in utilizing her background in higher education to contribute to VISTA’s unique mission of fighting poverty across America. She applied for the Service & Education Coordinator position because she saw it as an opportunity to develop professionally, build on the work she had done as a VISTA, and become an integral part of creating and facilitating a new program for the Tucker Foundation. Zeva says, “I am constantly inspired by both my colleagues at the Tucker Foundation and the Dartmouth students with whom we work; the passion and commitment to truly making a difference that exists here is extraordinary.”
Zeva currently lives in Wilder, VT.
