In August, radio host and comedian Steve Harvey and his wife, Marjorie, announced that their foundation would host a mentoring weekend for girls in mid-October. This weekend, Steve also teamed with hip-hop mogul Steve Stoute, BET exec Stephen Hill, CNN's Roland Martin, and ESPN's Stephen A. Smith among others to provide 100 New York City area teenage boys with some guidance of their own. Steve Harvey's Mentoring Weekend for Young Men in New York had the celebs appear in WBLS FM's Circle of Sisters and take part in a special edition of the popular game Family Feud at the Javits Center.
 
The Steve and Marjorie Foundation will host the Girls Who Rule the World Mentoring Weekend October 28-30. Teens will meet with influential women in entertainment and business and help the girls establish long term goals.

The National Mentoring Camp takes place every year over the Father's Day Weekend at Steve Harvey's Dallas Ranch.
During the weekend of November 18-20th we had 100 mentees from Atlanta and the surrounding counties participate in the Atlanta camp held at Morehouse College.
Gala
The Steve & Marjorie Harvey Foundation Gala will be May 14, 2012 at Cipriani Wall Street in NYC. Join us for our annual fundraiser. Ticket Sales info coming soon.
All of our mentors are volunteers that believe in our mission. Stephen A. Smith, Benny Pugh and Roland Martin participated in our New York Camp.
GWRTW Mentoring Weekend is a 3-day/2-night program designed to reinforce the “life skills” needed to carry a girl from her teen years into womanhood.
LA was our first regional camp in 2011. We are looking forward to returning in 2012. Stay tuned for application submission dates.
The mission of The Boys Mentoring Weekend Program is to share, teach and demonstrate the principles of manhood to young men, enabling them to achieve their dreams and become men who are strong, responsible and productive.
