My name is Monica Kelly, a proud native of San Diego—born and raised in the Southeastern District. I currently work for MTS and am also the CEO and Founder of Fresh Soil Mentoring and Transitional Center, a nonprofit organization dedicated to uplifting at-risk girls, especially those involved in or affected by gang culture.
Our mission at Fresh Soil is to mentor, guide, and empower young girls facing life’s toughest challenges. Through compassionate mentorship, critical support, and a focus on transformation, we aim to help them break cycles, heal, and thrive.
My personal mission in life is to be a symbol of hope—a living reminder that no matter how hard life gets, you ae not your circumstances
