    About Us

    My name is Petrina Edmondson and I am the Founder and Executive Director of The Maurice AC Kirkwood Jr. Youth Foundation, a 501c3 community based organization. I founded the organization in 2016 to shape the pathway of youth in all counties of Michigan by helping them overcome life’s obstacles. Our target population is low-income youth ages 11-17 and young adults in their first few years of college. Our life skills programs will include but not be limited to:

    Financial literacy - with a focus on enhancing their knowledge of credit, debt and saving;

    Workforce development - we will teach them resume writing, interviewing skills and how to dress for an interview; and

    Tutoring - with an emphasis on math, reading and science.
