About BUSYBODY'S Inc Nonprofit
Hello,
I am Marc Levi
Born and raised on the South Side of Chicago in the Englewood community, I overcame a troubled past and incarceration to turn my life around at the age of 20. Becoming a father gave me a renewed sense of purpose and a drive to create better opportunities for the next generation.
After relocating to Champaign, Illinois, my passion for mentoring began by guiding my son and his peers, eventually growing into a deeper commitment to supporting youth in the community. Over the years, I've built multiple businesses, including a record label, a restaurant, a lawn care service, and Wisdom Trucking LLC.
​
Today, I am fully dedicated to mentoring and community engagement, using my life experiences to inspire, guide, and empower young people to realize their potential and choose a better path. BUSYBODY'S Inc was started July 2023 in Champaign, Illinois as a youth mentoring organization with assistance of my son Marc Levi Jr. and a few other great community leaders. It began with our event Hood Hoops which lead into my mentoring in the juvenile detention center and now working with the Champaign County Redeploy Initiative.

Donate Today!
Donations made to BUSYBODYS Inc. directly support the growth and impact of our community programs. Contributions help us purchase equipment and supplies for our Growth Garden Program and our Grassroots Generosity initiative, where youth give back through community service projects.
Donations also help provide snacks, books, and educational resources for the youth we serve at the juvenile detention center in Champaign County. Through our Triple B Program, contributions assist with obtaining workout and fitness equipment that promotes health, discipline, and personal development for participating youth.
In addition, community support allows us to provide stipends for the young people working at our second Growth Garden site, giving them opportunities to earn income, develop responsibility, and gain hands-on experience in teamwork, leadership, and entrepreneurship.
