Hello, I’m Sarah Leonard, the program manager of the Zenie Foundation Scholarship program. I am a graduate of UMASS, Amherst, with a degree in Sociology. I live in Portland, Maine with my husband and two teenage sons. My past work includes: digital media and marketing communications in Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Maine; the non-profit Maine Humanities Council; and the Portland Public Schools.
I’ve always had a connection to education through volunteering in my kids’ pre-k, elementary, and middle school classrooms for many years, working in the Portland Public Schools as an Ed Tech and Tutor, consulting with the Portland Education Foundation, and now as part of the Zenie Foundation! Being responsible, doing your best, finding your way, helping others…these are all things I strive for and try to teach my own kids. It’s gratifying to work where the vision and culture dovetail with my own values. I am thrilled to collaborate with such smart, fun and dedicated staff and volunteers, and to support our truly amazing Zenie Foundation students. I can be reached at sarah@zeniefoundation.org.
