Empowering Youth, Building Leaders
Character. Discipline. Confidence. Leadership.
A 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering young men and women through sports, mentorship, and leadership development.
Our Mission
We strive to make training and personal development accessible to all, regardless of financial barriers, creating a supportive environment where every young person can thrive.
The Kumlawdi Foundation prepares youth for success in all areas of life—on the field, in the classroom, and in their communities—by removing barriers and providing pathways to excellence.
Building Community Through Development
We bring together young people who share a passion for excellence through mentorship, training workshops, academic coaching, leadership development, and athletic programs. Our football teams—Lady Yakpak and Tampa Flex—serve as one pathway, alongside unique experiences such as college tours and career exposure, creating connections and shared experiences that build lasting community.
This community extends beyond our programs—we encourage our youth to give back through charitable events and community causes, and our alumni and older participants mentor and support younger kids, creating a cycle of growth and service that strengthens the entire community.

Academic Growth
Supporting scholarship opportunities and college readiness programs to help our players achieve their academic goals.
Life Skills
