Author/Workshop
Presenter
Devora Kaye attends Vanderbilt
University in Nashville Tennessee where she
continues to provide service as an Ingram
Scholar. She currently serves as a Youth
Commissioner on the Tennessee Commission on
National and Community Service. She has explored
social entrepreneurship as a StartingBloc
Fellow, and has completed service internships at
the United Nations in Geneva working on Human
Rights Issues for Indigenous Populations, and
taught English to children in Thailand. While
studying overseas in the south of France, she
interned with the French Socialist Party during
the fall 2006 primaries.
Devora has published two unique and
original service learning books. Conversation
Starters as Easy As ABC 123 -- how to start
conversations with people with memory loss,
began through a service learning experience
while in 8th grade at Lincoln Middle School in
Santa Monica.
“We were doing a service project at a day care
center for adults with memory loss. Knowing how
to start and carry on a conversation can be
tricky at first. This book helps young people to
become at ease by providing ideas for
conversations. It works!”
Her second book, INCREASE THE PEACE -- The
ABCs of Tolerance, written during her
sophomore year in high school, provides
inspiring suggestions on meaningful ways to
become involved in community building.
Proceeds from the sales of
Devora’s books are donated to the Deanna Maran
Foundation for Non Violence. http://www.maranfoundation.org.
Devora has presented workshops on writing books
and on youth leadership and program development
at numerous National Service Learning
Conferences, Florida State Service-Learning
Conference, the Louisiana State Service Learning
Conference, and a Youth and Service Learning
State Conference in Nevada.
