Calvin Austin III, a wide receiver for the Pittsburgh Steelers, is bringing back his free SET 4 LIFE Football + STEAM Youth Camp to Memphis this summer.
The camp, which blends athletic training with science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics, is designed to inspire young people through sports, education and mentorship.
Scheduled for July 10 on the campus of the University of Memphis, the event will offer participants hands‑on activities, on‑field drills and workshops led by Austin and a team of volunteers.
Austin joined the Digital Desk with Parker King to discuss the camp’s mission and the impact he hopes it will have on the community.
A community‑focused initiative
Organizers emphasize that the program is completely free, removing financial barriers that often keep youth from accessing quality sports and educational resources.
By pairing football drills with STEAM concepts, the camp seeks to nurture both physical talent and intellectual curiosity, fostering a holistic development model.
The partnership with local institutions underscores a broader commitment to empowering the next generation of leaders in Memphis and beyond.
