A Legacy of Transforming Young Men Since 2009

The program now impacts hundreds of young men annually from across America. Each year, the foundation receives thousands of applications from families seeking this life-altering opportunity for their sons.

“This summer, we’re investing in the next generation. The Mentoring Program for Young Men is rooted in brotherhood, personal growth, and the power of building meaningful relationships.”
— Steve Harvey Foundation, Official Statement
Why These Mentoring Opportunities Matter
Research shows that young men without father figures face significant obstacles in education and career development. Harvey’s program bridges that gap by connecting them with mentors who understand struggle. Graduates report increased confidence, better academic performance, and clearer life direction. The ripple effect extends to families who witness their sons return home transformed and motivated.
The foundation doesn’t just mentor boys. Single mothers participate in a parallel enrichment summit during the same week. This holistic approach strengthens entire households. Parents gain resources, network with other guardians, and learn strategies for supporting their sons’ growth. The combined impact creates lasting family transformation.
Will This Life-Changing Week Change Your Son’s Trajectory?
If you know a young man ages 13-18 from a single-parent household, this opportunity could be pivotal. Applications are now open on theharveyfoundation.org. The selection process is competitive because demand far exceeds available spots. However, the foundation prioritizes reaching boys from underserved communities nationwide.
Participants consistently report that this week ranked among the most important experiences of their teenage years. They forge lifelong friendships with mentors and peers. They gain clarity about their purpose and future. Many return as young adults to mentor the next generation. This creates a powerful cycle of mentorship and community investment that strengthens American youth.
