Did you know? Proceeds from the Steps of Success 5k directly benefit our cause. We provide college scholarships and invest in the personal, educational, spiritual, leadership and professional development of college students and inner city youth - providing effective pathways to success and a ticket to a better life.
MORE THAN A RACE. A PATHWAY TO SUCCESS
Our mission is to Ignite, Inspire and Transform the lives of college students and youth living in under-served communities through mentoring, education and physical fitness.
OUR IMPACT
Every step taken in the Steps of Success 5k helps to empower, motivate and guide college students as they transition through school, helping them maximize their full potential and successfully graduate.
Our college students pay it forward by providing FREE volunteer service hours to youth participating in after school programs in under-served communities. They display the power of education while serving as tutors and mentors, inspiring youth to pursue higher education.
"The Steps of Success 5k and 50/50 Mentoring Program gave me an opportunity to network with and pique the minds of numerous alumni and professionals. It instilled in me a sense of service and aspiring to give back. I am able to make a difference in a child's life at an early stage, which goes to show the massive impact this program can have in the lives of future students." - Richard Mead (Fisk University Class of 2015)
