Our Story

Brian Levinson’s twenty-year teaching career revealed a truth that inspired the LLI mission—students who serve others learn more deeply, retain their lessons longer, and lead with greater compassion. From coaching debate teams to guiding students through special-education programs, Levinson witnessed how leadership transforms when students are given real responsibility.

In 2025, he launched the Levinson Leadership Institute as a movement for change. With its three pillars—Service, Education, and Travel—the Institute creates pathways for students to learn locally, serve passionately, and lead globally.
