About Us
Dr. K. Staten - Founder/President of Kiyoko Akelia Staten Youth Institute, Inc. (KASYI) - University of Maryland Professor (Training & Performance Improvement) - US Air Force Veteran.
KASYI was established in November 2017 in memory of my first born daughter who passed away from SIDS while my husband and I were stationed in Germany. It is my God-given vision to help young people understand their value and purpose in life; to live life on purpose and with purpose while helping others.
Our Mission
Our mission is to nurture the natural entrepreneurial spirit that we all are born with through positive mindset, life skills, & financial literacy with a focus on technology...shifting from consumers to prosumers of technology to solve global problems. Our Youth Development Program targets ages 14-24 youth (especially at-risk and underrepresented youth).
