From The Hands That Have to The Hands In Need | Steve West | Hilary Burns | S4EP13
Steve West is just a good guy. Really good. From a young age, he started speaking up about how people are treated. He has created a game in Palm Beach County, Florida. It's called THE IN-CROWD. He takes what people need to give away and gives it to those in need.
He is looking to pass on his organization to the right person. Steve is 86 and wants to continue the amazing work of his organization. There is no money that changes hands. None. There is no bureaucracy. None. There are just people doing what they want when they want and helping people.
The currency of the organization is joy. If you would like to start an organization like this in your area, reach out to Steve. He will mentor you - for free, of course. This is a unique opportunity.
Steve has amazing stories as well. Working with Muhammed Ali, created miracles in the New York school systems, taking on world hunger, and other amazing endeavors. Join us for this inspiring and mind-awakening conversation.
Steve West, Founder of THE IN-CROWD, has been involved in social justice causes since his youth. Steve integrated his career between entrepreneurial social justice volunteering and business. A leader in the Fair Housing Movement of the 1960s, he took on world hunger in the 1980s. At the same time he focused on third world development and has been involved with that since 1980. West’s unique experiences in social justice issues gives him a unique perspective for working in underserved communities.
Steve initiated the first Fair Housing Group in the United States in 1962. This was the model for the movement which grew quickly and after 6 years the humble beginning became the law of the land that exists today. In 1982 Steve Co-Founded and became the Executive Director of Impact On Hunger, one of the two major world anti-hunger educational organizations of the day. Perhaps Mr. West’s most informative experience is his forty plus years involvement with one of the world’s premier third world self-development organizations, Sarvodaya Shramadana. Alongside these activities Steve started and grew four businesses.
At the age of 80, Steve said he’s finally reached “middle-age.” An active competitive singles tennis player, our founder works tirelessly for social justice. He has extraordinary energy and an optimistic outlook. Steve regards himself as a Social Justice Entrepreneur.
