Hervey Foundation Changing Paths for Youth Towards a Brighter Future
More About Us
HOW WE DIFFER 

It is the Hervey Foundation’s goal to ensure our youth receive the support, guidance and encouragement needed to achieve academic and personal success. We attempt this by providing all of the services in a comprehensive program. By combining the mentorship, academic assistance, counseling, scholarships and educational trips the Foundation will be an active influence in the lives of many  “at risk and or disadvantaged youth” in the Greater St. Louis area. Our program reaches beyond the students’ life and engages the entire family. 

Our Programs

  • Mentoring: The mentors are professionals who have agreed to be a significant role model for a youth until he or she reaches 18 years of age.
  • A+ Achievement, Inc. (Funded Partnership) An Educational company that provides academic services such as K-12 tutoring in reading an math, homework assistance, ACT test preparation, college planning and educational consulting. The company has been in operation since 2002.
