About

Mission, Experience, and Focus

I am Kevin Johnson, a Chicago-based communications and program leader focused on building youth-centered learning experiences, strong partnerships, and systems that help communities grow.

Mission

I am passionate about empowering communities through strategic initiatives, creative problem-solving, and people-first collaboration. My goal is to turn ideas into practical programs that improve access, inclusion, and long-term impact.

Experience

After earning a B.A. in Creative Writing from the University of California, Riverside, I spent the past 10 years leading and scaling youth-focused programs. I have worked across grassroots and global organizations including Raspberry Pi Foundation and Bring Change 2 Mind, and now serve as Project Lead at InnovateEDU supporting National AI Literacy Day.

Strengths

I bridge strategy and execution across cross-functional project management, training design, facilitation, stakeholder communication, and writing. I use data and feedback to improve delivery quality while keeping the work human-centered.
