About A Chance In The World
A Chance In The World Foundation supports aspiring youth in an effort to help them reach their goals. Through Steve’s miraculous story, his memoir has inspired young people to persevere, to realize they aren't alone, and most importantly, to realize the power of possibility.
Giving A Chance
Like Steve, many of the young scholars we support simply need a chance, a vision and a support system in place to help them turn their dreams into reality. We're proud to support organizations and schools that share our mission. Each year, A Chance In The World bestows a Steve Pemberton Scholarship to deserving students at Nativity Preparatory School in New Bedford, Massachusetts.
