Gabby Levet is a social impact professional with experience building relationships and designing/implementing programs across sectors, communities and geographies. She was born and raised in Richmond, VA, where she was instilled with the importance of community from an early age.
As a graduate of the University of Virginia, Gabby has applied her studies in Global Sustainability, Government and Urban Planning to mission-driven roles, seeking to foster sustainable, equitable communities in her home state. Her most recent role entailed building a healthy and just food system at local nonprofit, Cultivate Charlottesville Food Justice Network. She has worked with local farmers/producers, public school communities, community members and residents, City leaders, nonprofit leaders and business owners to build towards goals of sustainability, equity and justice for all.
In her role as Community Partnerships Manager at The Harwood Institute, Gabby is grateful for the opportunity to develop strong relationships in an effort to catalyze community-based change and healing across the country. She is the producer of the Institute’s Community Initiatives, managing key elements of various locally-based, years-long partnerships to catalyze community-led action on concerns and aspirations that matter to community members. She works closely with our local partners and coordinators, Harwood Certified Coaches and the Institute team to co-create sustainable, impactful change by unleashing a positive chain reaction in each community.
In her free time, Gabby enjoys gardening, herbalism and yoga to recharge and fuel her commitment to positive social change.
