Youth of Promise, a faith-based nonprofit organization, was founded in 2018 in Fredericksburg, Virginia by Kymmollotkis Mason. It was Mason’s heart and passion to help the millions of high-risk youth in our community. She saw a need for a mentoring program in our area. The youth need trusted adults they can turn to in times of depression, hopelessness, fear, daily decision making and so on. Determined to make a difference, Mason convened a series of community meetings, attended by more than 10 community leaders, and concerned parents. Mason founded Youth of Promise as a nonprofit IRS 501 (c) (3) corporation. Since opening its doors, Youth of Promise has connected with and forged partnerships with the local business community, schools, parents, churches, and other youth organizations throughout the community.
Kymmollotkis Mason, Executive Director, and her staff of five continue to carry out the Youth of Promise’s vision and expand the scope of program services. Youth of Promise is determined and dedicated to reach the youth in our community and to have influence in their lives. Its mission is to empower and to improve the well-being of the youth. This program was created to provide role models that can support the youth socially, financially, academically, and personally.
Youth of Promise has a mission to empower at-risk youth in the community to make positive life choices that build confidence and provide life skills that would sustain each youth for a lifetime. We meet each youth where there are and provide guidance in areas they need most. Our mission is to let them know they are not alone, and they are worth fighting for.
Youth of Promise envisions a community in which every youth experiences nurturing one-to-one relationships, healthy relationships with peers, and community support. This allows each of them to develop into their full potential, making informed and responsible decisions as involved members of our community.
We are a faith-based youth mentoring organization focused on helping our higher risk youth to experience healthy one on one relationships and support within the community. We want our youth to grow into there fullest potential and make sure they make, responsible, and informed decisions.
There are millions of youth that are in need of a "big friend". We are always looking for volunteers who are honest, empathetic, willing to encourage our youth, and also willing to be an inspiration. We will pair a child with a role model where a one on one or group relationship will be built on trust and friendship that can blossom into
