Our Mission
STEER provides individualized mentorship, services, and financial support to ensure students thrive academically, develop socially and emotionally, and excel athletically. STEER removes obstacles that inhibit holistic student development and provides alternative positive support; this support allows program participants to develop college and career readiness skills and personal competencies that will empower them to become positive contributors in a global society while improving family and community outcomes.
Our Services
STEER provides support services that include social, academic and athletic assistance to individual student athletes. This enables them to graduate high school, prepare for further education and/or entry into the workforce. The organization achieves these objectives by employing "STEER Advisors" who are responsible for tracking and assessing the needs of the selected student athletes. ​
