Our Story

Cornell Lewis serves as the Executive Director of The Expanding Visions Foundation; a grass roots, non-profit mentoring organization that he started over 15 years ago after earning a Bachelor of Arts degree in Theology from Ohio Dominican University and a Master’s degree from Capella University, majoring in Human Services and Community Development, and serving as a mentor to the Columbus community and his church family.

A native of Columbus, OH, Dr. Cornell Lewis graduated from Columbus South High School and spent eight years in the U.S. Army (including actively serving in Desert Storm/Desert Shield, Korea.) Dr Cornell Lewis was a Sergeant/E-5 in the 82nd Airborne Division at Ft. Bragg, NC. His career in public service also includes working for the US Postal Service, and most recently for the City of Columbus Division of Fire where Dr. Cornell is a firefighter and paramedic.

Mr. Lewis is the recipient of the 2010 Outstanding Mentor of the year from The Mentoring Center of Central Ohio presented by The Honorable Joyce Beatty, 2001 Humanitarian Award from the American Legion and the 1998 Humanitarian Award from the Lighthouse Project (all of Columbus, OH). In 1995, he facilitated a program titled G.Y.M (Guiding Young Men) at Southmoor Middle School in which he personally mentored 37 young males each school year on a weekly basis by teaching life skills. Several of the young men from the program have gone on to obtain college degrees, maintain the values that they were taught and are now giving back to EVF by sharing their stories and experiences.

The Expanding Visions Foundation is a non-profit organization serving the Columbus OH community. It’s volunteers provide career development and leadership services to the youth and adults in the community through its Career Institute multi-week program and through EVF Ministry Services.
