When it comes to helping others help themselves. Adele Levine relishes the task.
Levine is counselor at the SkinkerDeBaliviere office of the Educational Opportunity Centers of St. Louis. Her office is located at 6008 Kingsbury. Her job is to offer free counseling on career opportunities and educational programs as well as free assistance on admissions and financial aid applications.
Levine is one of seven professional counselors in the metropolitan area assigned to help citizens improve themselves through higher education and training. The program, operating under the Higher Education Center of St. Louis, is financed by the U.S. Office of Education.
Levine comes well-prepared for her assignment. She has an undergraduate degree from Brandeis University in Massachusetts and a master’s in urban affairs from St. Louis University.
Perhaps more important is her attitude. “I enjoy assisting individuals to increase their self-awareness and utilize their maximum potential in both their personal and professional lives. I have particular interest in working with the female who is either considering a career for the first time in her life, as well as the person contemplating a career change,” says Levine.
Persons of any age or income level are eligible for EOC’s free services. Anyone interested in improving his or her potential through higher education or training may call the Skinker-DeBaliviere Center at 725-4949.
