What We Are

Every young person deserves a chance to succeed and someone who believes they can.

KL Training Solutions is a nonprofit organization dedicated to equipping young people with the tools, support, and opportunities they need to thrive.

Through mentorship, academic enrichment, and community engagement, we help youth build confidence, develop leadership skills, and create pathways to success  in school, in sports, and in life.

Our Mission

To inspire, educate, and equip young people so they can reach their full potential and contribute positively to their communities.

Our Vision

We dream of a world where every young person has access to strong role models, quality education, and the support they need to reach their full potential.

Our Journey & Story

KL Training Solutions began in 2012, when Keynon Lake, a former law enforcement officer, SAW A GAP,  too many young people were navigating life without the guidance they needed.

What started as a mentorship program for boys has grown into three signature initiatives: a boy’s program, a girl’s program, and a co-ed summer academy.

Over the years, we’ve worked with hundreds of young people. We’ve watched them discover their talents, overcome challenges, and give back to their communities. And each success fuels our belief that when youth are supported, entire communities grow stronger.

Our Values & Guiding Principles

We treat every young person, family, and community partner with dignity, listening to their needs and honoring their voice.
