Actor/author/best bud to POTUS  Hill Harper has got your kids covered for the summer. That is if you live in LA. He’s developed a mentoring and leadership academy for recently graduated middle schoolers whose families are struggling financially. Piggybacking off his his best-seller books teaching young men and women to tap into their best selves financially and mentally this is the CSI: NY’s next challenge to youth.

The Summer Youth Empowerment Academy is through Hill’s Manifest Your Destiny Foundation, a non-prof that aims to give teens the academic, social and leadership skills needed to map out a better future for themselves.

The program is free to all kids worthy of the opportunity and is only for a week; July 21-25

All those interested in applying, click here. And for those feeling extra generous, you can support the summer program by purchasing a BluBond Tee to raise money for the Academy’s resources.

Who says summer can’t be fun and productive? Yes, it is possible.
