Today we are gonna GET THINGS DONE!

I was treated to lunch by @joeartguy and his lovely mum (my bonus mum) during errands we went and ran today! (I got a big bag of clothes that no longer fit donated to the thrift store!) Jason's Deli brought back my favorite, the Papa Verde potato, baked sweet potato with turkey, provolone, avocado & spinach (I substituted regular ranch for the jalapeno ranch that it comes with; I can't do spicy. Also ordered the lighter portion version!) #ieatfoodjustlikeyou #noms #attemptinghealthy #papaverde #jasonsdeli #sweetpotato #spinach #avocado🥑 #ranchdressing #tastycakes #delicious #ihavethebestfriends #witnessmybeanchewing #errands #getthingsdone https://www.instagram.com/p/B8Z1zAynKza/?igshid=lrzpvv9mcs5k

City Year AmeriCorps Alum Changes Lives and Inspires Achievement

By Tatiana Johnson, City Year Headquarters

“Hello, I’m Mr. Johnson and I am going to invest in you as much as you want me to.” This is how Le’otis Boswell-Johnson introduced himself to Devin*, an eighth-grade student at The Leadership Academies at Eugene J. Butler Middle School, on the first day of school.

Though Devin was one of the many students that Boswell-Johnson worked with as a City Year AmeriCorps member in Jacksonville, Fla., the two developed a special bond while Le’otis served as a tutor, mentor, role model, and friend to the young man during the past year.

When Boswell-Johnson first met Devin, the student was disengaged in the classroom and struggled with his English language arts coursework. As Le’otis began to build a connection with Devin, the student’s grades improved and his confidence grew.

When asked about his relationship with Boswell-Johnson, Devin said proudly, "He changed my life." Le’otis says that he always believed Devin could be successful—the student just needed to realize it for himself.

A Commitment to Student Success

Boswell-Johnson’s impact on Devin is just one example of how City Year AmeriCorps members are committed to student success. In recognition of Le’otis’ service to his school, students, and community, he earned the 2018 Eli. J. Segal Bridge Builder Award, which honors one outstanding City Year AmeriCorps member every year for their commitment to building healthy communities through service and embodying the program’s values.

Boswell-Johnson’s manager Lindsay Rose said that Le'otis is "a model AmeriCorps member whose influence on his team is profound."

In her letter of nomination for the Bridge Builder Award, Rose wrote that she and those who have had the privilege to work with Le'otis "believe that he will continue to inspire people of all ages, working with everlasting energy towards social change” and “truly embodying City Year's value: service to a cause greater than self."

Passion for Creating Change

Le'otis joined City Year Jacksonville with a passion for creating change, giving voice to the voiceless, and dismantling barriers for social justice. The Florida State University graduate will start his pursuit of a law degree this fall at the Thurgood Marshall School of Law at Texas Southern University to change policies that continue to affect all people of color, especially men.

"From the juvenile system policy reform to deconstructing the school-to-prison pipeline, I want to make a change,” said Boswell-Johnson. “I want to change the statistic that now states that there's a one-third chance for black men to be in jail in their lifetime."

Le'otis' commitment to dismantling oppression led him to help establish a non-profit in 2016 called Sons of Sophistication (SOS). The organization recruits mentors in Tallahassee and connects them to young black men, particularly those who have experienced trauma and need mental-health support, to help them find community and a space to work through healing.

“When I work with my students, through SOS or City Year, I am very transparent with them,” Le’otis said. “I’ve come from their communities. I’ve been through some of things they've been through. I let them know that I’m there to help prepare them to move forward. I give them the attention they need and I’m ‘real’ with them. When kids are open, they can tell us the truth but they also expect the truth from us."

When asked what motivates him to serve, Boswell-Johnson talks about his students.

"My kids motivate me to be my best self,” said Le’otis. “When they don't have anyone else, they have us—sometimes kids just need to reflect and debrief their day. I don’t take credit for their greatness, but I'm glad to be there."

If you know a young person who is ready for the challenge to help students achieve their potential while growing as a leader, City Year AmeriCorps is now accepting applications for the 2019-2020 academic year.
