The Steve Fund’s seminars and workshops are interactive virtual and in-person learning opportunities for students of color and those that serve them. Developed and facilitated by mental health experts, these interactive learning opportunities help promote the mental health and well-being of students of color.
Each seminar or workshop is designed for a 1.5 to 2 hour time frame and are customized to your group’s needs. If you don’t see a topic that interests you, please let us know and we can explore various opportunities. In order to create a more effective learning environment and use engaging activities (small and large group discussions, interactive exercises, simulations, etc.), our seminars and workshops work best with 15-150 participants. If your group size is larger than 150 please let us know and we will discuss feasibility.
We ask that all requests be submitted four weeks prior to the event. Below is an overview of what to expect after submitting your request.

This collection of interactive student workshops situates students in their educational context by exploring college readiness, high school and college experiences and persistence, and entry into the workforce.

Workshops include:
Our approach to supporting students is understanding that they live in an ecosystem — influenced by our society, institutions, organizations, communities, and their family. This set of student workshops focus on topics that are timely and relevant to the experiences of students of color throughout their educational journey. These workshops also engage groups of students who hold shared marginalized identities or experiences, including gender, sexuality, immigration status, disciplinary training, and school/college type.
The Steve Fund partners with nonprofits, community organizations, high schools, and higher education institutions to offer professional learning experiences for administrators, instructors, providers, police, advocates, and others that wish to increase their awareness and gain skills to support the mental health and well-being of students of color. Participants will have an opportunity to learn, grow, and connect with a community of professionals who are committed to equity in mental health. Training is available virtually or in person.
We are committed to meeting the needs of students of color and supporting those that serve them. We have built a fee structure to offset the time and costs of our consultants and our staff, and to expand our services and reach. To learn more please contact Monica Ingkavet at Monica@stevefund.org.
