Kenneth Roberts

I was born in Memphis, TN, came to Clarksville, TN via the military while stationed at FT Campbell, KY. I retired after serving 23 years in the Army, retiring as a Sergeant First Class. My wife and I have two beautiful young adult children. More than half of my life has been dedicated to volunteering, more than 20 years as a volunteer coach, teaching at church, working at youth camps, being a mentor at Youth Village, and 9 years encouraging youth to serve in their community through the Youth Employment Service (YES), now changed to Youth Engagement Services which I started in 2010 after retiring from the Army. I enjoy working with people and serving in the community. I graduated from Thomas A. Edison State College (2003), with a BA degree in Social Science/History. I was a Clinical Member of the National Christian Counselors Association, where I received a certification as a Temperament Counselor; also I am a certified Christian Counselor and a 2014 recipient of the US President's Volunteer Service Award.

Yolanda Jones-Bell

I am a native of Sumter, South Carolina, the daughter of Frances and the late William P. Jones. I graduated from Hillcrest High School and hold a degree in Business Administration from Central Texas College, a Healthcare Management Technology degree from Fayetteville Technical Community College, and a Bachelor's degree in Health and Human Performance in Health Care Management from Austin Peay State University. I served in the United States Army for 8 years and was medically retired at the rank of Sergeant First Class (SFC). I am a licensed ordained Elder at Christ the Healer Church under the leadership of Bishop Calvin and Pastor Lynnita Lockett. I actively serve in various capacities, including leader of the Military Support Group, Homefront Ministry, and Executive Pastor Adjutant. I actively serve as the Youth Engagement Services secretary. I have a passion to mentor young ladies which lead me to establish “Real Talk with JB” in 2019. The organization is designed to speak to the inner girl in them that will produce the woman they desire to be. I share my trials and triumphs in life with hopes that it will help young ladies develop into the women God has called and purposed them to be. I am a “Proverbs 31” woman who loves God, serves others and echoes Matthew 6:33 “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” I am the wife of, Toyalatieff “Toye” Bell and mother to two beautiful daughters, Imani and Trinity Bell.

Yolanda Davis

A native of Texas, I moved to Fort Campbell in 2010 as a military spouse. I served the military service-members and their families in such capacities as a Unit Coordinator, Financial Management Specialist, Family Readiness Support Assistant, Defense Ready Unit Specialist and as a Career Counselor at the Soldier for Life Transition Assistance Program.
I have always had a heart to serve others. I developed a special kind of love for our youth as I served as a Sunday School teacher while stationed at Fort Bliss, Texas. It was during this time I realized the importance of and the need for a strong support system for our youth. They needed to know that someone truly cared for them and was willing to go the extra mile to help them succeed. It was important for them to see through the actions of others that even when they don’t get it right, someone would still be there to help them get back on track. And I wanted to be that someone. I believed if I could touch just one life, I will have made a difference in this world.

Angelina Nacca

Born and raised in North Carolina, I am a recent transplant to Clarksville. I moved here after receiving Bachelor's of Science degrees in Psychology and Criminal Justice from Appalachian State University. Working with youth has been a passion of mine from a young age, from teaching bible classes at church, to tutoring middle school students and leading service projects in my community with other young people. I'm devoted to promoting youth leadership development and community engagement, particularly for those youth considered to be "at-risk" by the justice system. In 2019, I spent time working at a juvenile justice facility in Florida where I got my first real experience with restorative justice efforts and the benefit of leadership training and service for a child struggling with behavior problems. I now work at a law firm in Clarksville. I am motivated by my faith and consider my relationship with God to be at the root of all my endeavors. I enjoy reading, being active, and traveling.

Chris Brandon

I am from Spartanburg, South Carolina. I am the youngest of my mother’s four children. I obtained my primary and secondary education with the Spartanburg, S.C. public school system. I was recognized for my football accomplishments and also as a model student while in high school. After my high school graduation, I went into the U.S. Army to become a paratrooper of the world renowned 82nd Airborne Division out of Fort Bragg, N.C. I received numerous awards and decorations during my military career. I have been very active in the community where I coached high school football and Pop Warner football for 15 years. I mentored young men and boys to become great, not only on the football field but in life. I graduated from American Military University with a bachelor’s degree in Logistics Management and am currently enrolled in Andersonville Theological Seminary in the Masters of Theology program. I am married to Nicole Brandon.

Matthias L. Chapman Sr.

Born and raised in Whatley, Alabama, I am one of five boys. Growing up in a church environment and a community of people that genuinely cared for others, I quickly developed a passion for helping the elderly and other community service. In between church and helping around the neighborhood, I developed the love for basketball, football, and baseball. I moved to Clarksville for my last year of high school and joined the workforce. Two years later, I accepted the task to work overseas in Iraq for a couple of years as a government contractor. Although going overseas was a great and challenging life experience, getting married and becoming a father would be one of my greatest personal accomplishments. In my free time, you can find me spending time with family and in the great outdoors. In 2017, I graduated from Stratford University with a degree in business management. I still work as a government contractor for the United States Army, but because of my first love (God) you can also find me serving at Christ the Healer Church in Clarksville.

I was born in Chicago Illinois and graduated from Austin Peay with a Bachelor's degree in Public Administration. I am a retired Army Veteran, and Co-Founder of the YES program with Kenneth Roberts, I’m currently employed as a Supervisor for the trainee unit at the Tennessee Department of Human Services for Disability.
During my experience as a young child, I had the opportunity of joining two Community Center’s called the Beacon House and Marillac House. The center was used daily for playing games, completing homework, and other activities. The Marillac House provided me the opportunity to be sponsored by a family from North Dakota at age 8 until 12. The program was canceled due to funding issues. Because of my positive experience with programs such as this, I joined the YES program.
