ABOUT US
In establishing YAMM, the first people thought about was the parents. We cannot accomplish our mission without the assistance of parents. Parents work and are not able to get their youth where they need to be for programs. There are a lot of tardies and absences due to parents not being able to get off work to get youth to a program's destination. Therefore, we made it our mission to make sure youth do not have to be transported by parent way.
We operate as a mobile youth program, delivering our programs community-wide to illuminate transportation issues before they start. We made it possible for parents and for youth to stay safe in their neighborhood and get the help they need from our programs.

Meet Our
President/CEO
Kamm is the founder and president of YAMM. Dedicated to assisting and guiding people she meets, Kamm’s passion is to see the underserved succeed through education and development becoming leaders.
Mentoring since age 15, Kamm received her B.S. in Criminal Justice, Cum Laude. Her passion forces her to be effective in the life of children. Kamm foresaw detained and at-risk youth becoming law-abiding citizens although views from society did not look promising. Therefore, Kamm founded her passion to see -- Youth Achieving Moral Maturity (YAMM).
Kamm believes over half of the young boys and girls she meets are at risk of failing in life and can be helped before it’s too late. Furthermore, believes nothing is too difficult to turn around to positive, “Making what seems impossible, possible”. Therefore, Kamm "Walk by faith, not by sight". She plans to develop our youth to moral maturity, and soon, open a female-based Adult Childhood Sexual Abuse Healing practice for survivors like herself.
