A legacy of love.
Kaylia’s Opportunity honors a life by opening doors for others. Our story begins with family, and grows through community.
From her memory, a mission.
Kaylia’s Opportunity was founded in Baltimore, Maryland, by founder Kendric K. Player in memory of his sister, Kaylia Player.
Her memory is at the heart of our work. We carry her name forward with a commitment to empowering youth and young adults, strengthening our community, and raising awareness around domestic violence and mental health.
