A dynamic program created by Harvey to provide guidance to young men 13-18 from single female-headed households who are experiencing some struggles as they’re navigating their adolescence, the Steve Harvey Mentoring Program brings to life a future without boundaries ““ as Harvey and a range of guests share a powerful dose of inspiration, tailor-made educational opportunities and real talk not found in any classroom ““ to empower young men in a positive, refreshing environment in taking charge of their futures and open their imaginations beyond what they already know.
Harvey says, “Bringing the young men out here, out of their everyday surroundings is an experience that gives them the opportunity to recharge and renew themselves, taking part in a program focused solely on them. Filled with a diverse number of activities, sessions, and role models from sports to business, education, fitness and more, no dream is too big to help them discover their potential, and help build the successful futures they’re meant for.”
