Nell and John Wooden Ethics in Leadership Award

The Ukleja Center for Ethical Leadership invites you to join us as we honor Jeff Levine, President & CEO of the Long Beach Rescue Mission, with the 2025 Nell and John Wooden Ethics in Leadership Award. Under Jeff’s leadership, the mission has substantially grown its capacity to care for people who are homeless and struggling with addiction by providing them with food, shelter, and spiritual guidance. Because Jeff’s story so deeply resonates with the people he serves, he has become a beacon of hope for the mission’s guests through his humble, faith-filled, and loving servant leadership. Like Coach Wooden, Jeff embodies the Ukleja Center’s core values of integrity, servant leadership, and empowerment. Come join us for the celebration!
