Johnson holds a [[Bachelor of Arts|B.A.]] in [[political science]] from U.C. Berkeley that he completed after his initial retirement from the NBA. Since founding St. HOPE in 1989, Johnson has been active in education reform. As Mayor of Sacramento, Johnson launched two education initiatives: Stand UP and Sacramento READS!, to benefit students in Sacramento. Johnson also helped to deter the [[Sacramento Kings]] basketball team from moving to Anaheim, and, later, to Seattle, Washington.
