Jodi Levine

CEO/Executive Director Experience

Jodi Levine holds a degree in Biology from University of California, Santa Barbara and has brought rich and diverse experiences in outdoor education and leadership to shape Earthroots into what it is today. Formative experiences that led to creating Earthroots include working with several environmental education organizations throughout the US, traveling to learn from remote tribes in the Ecuadorian Amazon and Africa, studying abroad in Costa Rica with a focus on Agro-ecology, and interning on permaculture farms in Hawaii and California. Her leadership and mentoring style incorporate outdoor experiences that awaken a sense of connection and stewardship between staff, students and the natural world. Her community-building skills create the feeling of a small village within Earthroots staff and programs. Jon Young of the 8 Shields Institute has guided and mentored Jodi from 2005-2020. This unique relationship with a seasoned nature connection mentor has offered Jodi and Earthroots profound benefits that continue to ripple throughout the organization.
