Thank you in your interest in Steve’s Club National Program (SCNP) and helping us work towards Strengthening the Nation, One Kid at a Time. Together with our Local Steve's Club programs, we bring fitness, nutrition, and mentorship to underserved and at-risk youth nationwide. Our mission is:
Steve’s Club and its participating members provide a national network of programs through which at-risk or underserved youth of any socioeconomic background can join in the fitness community at a reduced, low, or no cost structure.
Steve’s Club defines at-risk, underserved, or disadvantaged youth as one or more of the following:
•
Economically disadvantaged
•
Out-of-school, including unemployed out-of-school youth
•
In or aging out of foster care
•
Homeless or runaway
•
At risk to leave secondary school without a diploma
•
Former juvenile offenders or at risk of delinquency
•
Exposed to violence, abuse, gang activity, drugs, crime
If you haven’t done so already, we recommend that you visit the "Start a Club" page (
