Jonathan Lewis

Chief Operating Officer

In 2010, Jonathan began volunteering with the coalition. After a year of volunteering, the coalition was able to acquire a small amount of funding and subsequently hired its first ever pay staff member, Jonathan Lewis. Since 2011, Jonathan has worked to build the infrastructure of the Coalition, providing a strong foundation for acquiring and sustaining additional funding and services for Levy County youth. Over the past 10 years, the Coalition has grown tremendously and now offers programming in all five Levy County communities, an accomplishment that Jonathan hopes not only to maintain, but build upon in the years to come.

“Children need models rather than critics.” ~Joseph Joubert
“It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men/women.” ~Frederick Douglas

I became a part of the Levy County Prevention Coalition Team in September of 2018. I love that I can use my education and experience in teaching and business administration to be a part of something that I feel makes a difference in our community; not just a job, but a mission. As a mother of three grown children I know it “takes a village” to see our children become healthy, happy, and successful adults and the LCPC is part of that “village” as they offer many programs that provide guidance, education, and mentors to help our youth make better choices for their future. They also have a strong commitment to see Levy County be a healthy and thriving community.

When I am not at the office I enjoy being the Director of the Fine Arts/Worship Minister and Business Administrator at Cornerstone Church Williston.

Samantha Dean

Community Projects Coordinator

I have been working with children and youth in Levy County for 15+ years. I love helping and building a rapport with them and their families. I began working with the Prevention Coalition in March 2019. As a former Early Childhood Educator, I’m excited to bring my passion to the Prevention Coalition!
