Kelvin D. Fleming Sr.

Referrals/Letters of Recommendation

To Whom It May Concern:

I am writing on behalf of Kelvin Fleming and the NUFOUNDATION Program. We had the pleasure of having Mr. Fleming along with Gang Detectives from the Oceanside Police Department provide a joint presentation to our district’s leadership team. Mr. Fleming’s presentation was riveting and thought provoking as every administrator in the room received a wake-up call on how a genuine relationship with a student can change their format and eventually their life. Mr. Fleming’s ability to engage an audience and take them to a place of self evaluation is remarkable to see. His straightforward approach is a breath of fresh air and has proven to be very effective.

As the Oceanside Unified School District’s School Intervention Manager, I believe Mr. Fleming’s approach would be even more effective with our student population. His ability to relate to people of all ages, colors and ethnic backgrounds is a powerful tool in his motivational and life changing tool box. School districts around the country are in a battle to establish and maintain safe and orderly campuses as a variety of negative influences on and off of our campuses continue to threaten the education community. Mr. Fleming’s NUFOUNDATION Program has the potential to assist us in reaching our goal of engaging all of our students in the pursuit of excellence.

It is without any reservations that I recommend Kelvin Fleming and the NUFOUNDATION as a viable approach in changing the behavior and hearts of students and staff alike. He will bring the skills and experience needed to affect a positive change in any school or organization whose primary goal it is to teach, direct and mentor youth.

To Whom It May Concern,
I am writing in reference to Mr. Kelvin Fleming and NuFoundation. Over the past six months Mr. Fleming has worked with the Oceanside Unified School District in establishing a mentor program for our students. He has and is an important asset in creating and developing our mentor program design. His vast knowledge of the problems our young students face today, has given more insight as to which approach is needed to be most effective. Mr. Fleming’s ability to demonstrate the beginning of “at- risk” behaviors allows his audience to recognize early warning signs. He has a tremendous passion and energy that connects his audience to the purpose. His true heart-felt effort to make a difference in the lives of young people here, as well as across the nation, will indeed bring us closer to reducing the various effects the negative choices our young people have made and continue to make. Mr. Fleming and Nufoundation have the fire, passion, and energy we need to help our youth.

Sincerely,
James Greer

To whom it may concern,

Kelvin Fleming came to our after school program to speak to our middle school students about life choices. His presentation on positive and negative influences on a young person’s life was entertaining, informative, and highly relevant to our youth. The room was full of 90-100 middle school students and Kelvin was able to engage the audience with a dynamic approach that kept their attention throughout.

Our students genuinely enjoyed Kelvin’s presentation. Immediately following his speech, students gathered around him asking questions and telling him how much they enjoyed having him there. Kelvin is relatable and approachable, but also delivers an uncompromising message.

Our after school program will look forward to having Kelvin speak again. I would recommend his message for this generation of youth, it is sorely needed.

To: Whom It May concern,
I am writing on behalf of Kelvin D. Fleming. I have known Kelvin for over 20 yrs. During that time, I have gotten to know Kelvin quite well and can thoroughly vouch for his character and abilities. Kelvin is a pleasure to work with and his positive attitude makes his work fun and interesting. It was a pleasure having Kelvin as a motivational speaker here at STAAR after school program. Kelvin demonstrated his ability to manage and captivate the classroom environment and the students were enthusiastic about their experiences with having him here. Kelvin would bring a wealth of knowledge and skills to any organization. I know he would be an excellent fit for any organization. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at anytime.

Kelvin D. Fleming Sr. was born in 1980 in Oceanside California. He grew up in a heavy drug and gang influenced neighborhood with many forms of negativity surrounding him. Kelvin and his 4 older siblings were raised in a single parent home, living off public assistance while his mother attended night school and other R.O.P. courses to try to better their life. He found himself engaging in many negative opportunities in his youth. While introduced to gangs and hustling in his early preteen years he had many run-ins with the law. All were minor offenses until the winter of 1992 when, at the age of 12, Kelvin was seen in an Oceanside CA community apartment complex pointing a hand gun at two males. As a result, he was sent away to North Carolina to be raised by his uncle, a man of integrity, morals and strong structured values. He returned to California in 1996 at the age of 15. He had only been back for 3 months when, at his 16th birthday party, he was shot twice in the head at point blank range by a rival gang member. This was a life changing experience for him. Throughout his childhood he had often dreamed of a better life outside of the gang, visualizing himself being successful and influencing others in a positive and productive life. Kelvin began looking for other outlets to attach himself to such as writing books and music, and recording and performing rap music, leaving behind the lifestyle of hustling and gang affiliation. With this new positive thinking he was able to see more clearly the positive opportunities life has to offer, and gained a desire to pass on the lessons he had learned through his hardship and pain. He learned to use his music and books to teach positive messages to his audience. Having worked closely with adolescents as a youth counselor, mentor, and motivational speaker, Kelvin D. Fleming has built a career founded on motivating and inspiring great change. Kelvin D. Fleming Sr. Has spoken in representation for Oceanside City Council on several opportunities presenting a highly effective training on multiple occasions for students, parents, school faculty members, Oceanside Unified School District, Oceanside Police Department and Fellowship Christian Athletes his knowledge and experiences taught to our community has been a great resource that is consistently applied in our schools and community programs. He has written many positive motivational guide books encouraging both youth and adults to better themselves and their circumstances.
