Meet LaTonya Johnson, AIST Member, currently serving with Bright Beginnings, a service site of the AmeriCorps Instructional Support Team AmeriCorps program.

AIST members assist students in pre-school - 12th grade in all Butler County Schools (McKenzie, Georgiana & Greenville). AIST partners with community projects & participates in National Service Days throughout the year.

What inspired you to serve as an AmeriCorps member? I was inspired to serve as an AmeriCorps member because I love working with children, and AmeriCorps allows me to be on the same schedule as my own children and further help their learning goals. 

What are your plans after AmeriCorps? I am currently in nursing school and plan to continue my education to become a nurse. 

LaTonya Johnson is currently serving her fourth term of service at Bright Beginnings Pre-K at W.O. Parmer Elementary.
