10.14: Forever Young Foundation Hero Of The Week –SEO Scholars San Francisco
This week on The Sports Leader, the conversation is all about giving back to the community. Steve Young, the three-time champion and two-time NFL MVP, joins Murph and Markus to talk about a program that's making a real difference in the lives of high school students in the Bay Area.
The discussion centers around SEO San Francisco (https://www.seo-usa.org), a free academic and career program that supports first-generation public high school students, guiding them through college and into competitive careers. The program's executive director, Omar Wandera, shares the impressive stats: 100% of their students get into top colleges, and 85% graduate within six years. But it's not just about the numbers – it's about the impact on the students and their families.
Steve Young and his business partner, Rich Lawson, recently hosted a fundraiser for SEO at the Chase Center, and the event was a huge success. They're joined by Junior Bryant, a Notre Dame alum and first-generation college student himself, who shares his personal story and the importance of programs like SEO. The conversation is inspiring and thought-provoking, and it's clear that these individuals are passionate about making a difference.
