Jess Leffler

Senior Vice President

Jess finds her deepest peace on the ocean and her greatest creativity when painting, but her deepest fulfillment comes from meaningful, authentic connections with others. She is proud to be part of Bow Seat, contributing to the remarkable 11 years of impactful work that has come before her.

With over 25 years of experience working with youth, families, and communities, Jess is passionate about creating opportunities for young people to engage with the world and discover their vast potential.

As a Licensed Mental Health Clinician, Jess holds a BA from Vanderbilt University and a Master’s in Art Therapy from Lesley University.

When Jess is not working, she can be found outside running very slowly, in the kitchen spinning up sometimes yummy creations, and out in the world unintentionally embarrassing her two kids.
