A proud native of Baton Rouge and a member of the Capitol Senior High School class of 1995, Levar Robinson has always
embodied the spirit of a servant leader. In 1996, inspired and encouraged by his mother, he embarked on a journey with
the U.S. Navy, serving as a nuclear Submarine Machinist Mate for six years on two nuclear submarines and a submarine
repair ship. During this time, his passion for travel and watersports ignited.

‍
Transitioning from the Navy, Levar held key positions with industry leaders including Northrop Grumman, Dow Chemical
Company, and ExxonMobil, amassing a combined total of 17 years of professional experience. Yet, his commitment to
community service and mentorship never wavered.

‍
Beginning in 2008, Levar extended his influence to guide and inspire young minds within churches and prison ministries,
becoming a beacon of hope for the next generation. Volunteering with organizations such as Big Buddy, 100 Black Men,
and Volunteers in Public Schools, he further demonstrated his dedication to community growth.

‍
In 2017, driven by a profound desire to make a lasting impact on the lives of at-risk youth and a heartfelt commitment to
supporting fathers, Levar established Fathers On A Mission (FOAM), a 501c3 nonprofit organization. Remarkably, he
embarked on this journey while maintaining a demanding shift work schedule at DOW Chemical Company. FOAM's
mission is clear: to uplift Fathers, Father Figures, and guide misguided youth towards a brighter path. With six children of
his own and having served as a father figure to countless others, Levar's dedication stems from personal experience and a genuine sense of purpose.

“As a father, I realized that the mistakes I made were of my own lack of knowledge, but I also realized that the successes of other fathers were because they had a mentor, coach, or father figure in their lives to support them in being an effective father. I wanted to start a support team to be a source of support and shared learning experience for Fathers that would allow men to share their experiences as a father, and help other fathers be better fathers.”

‍
Today, Levar's presence is felt within schools and communities alike. Whether engaging youth through open dialogues
using his curriculum, "Enhancing Your Greatness" or providing essential social service interventions for Fathers and
Father Figures, his impact resonates deeply.

‍
Levar's tireless efforts have earned him recognition from esteemed organizations and companies across the city and
state. His accolades include the 2018 Emerge Center Baton Rouge Area Volunteer Activist Award, the 2018 Louisiana
Association of Non-Profits (LANO) Community Leaders Alumni distinction, the 2019 ExxonMobil Responsible Care Award,
the 2020 Business Report Executive Leadership Academy Alumni recognition, the 2020 NAACP Trailblazer Award, the
2020 BlueCross BlueShield Foundation Angel Award, the 2022 New Orleans Saints and Community Coffee Military and
Community Volunteer Honoree distinction, the 2022 Responsible Fatherhood Facilitator and Family Life Coach
Certification from NPCL Washington DC, and the 2023 Baton Rouge Area Foundation (BRAF) John W. Barton Sr.
Excellence in Nonprofit Management Rising Star Award.
