Steven is 13 years old, describes himself as chill, talkative and creative, and spends his free time enjoying art, dancing, and dreaming up plans for his own YouTube channel. He is also one of more than 37 children currently waiting for an adult mentor through a Dakota County youth program, according to the seed story.
Steven’s story appears in a Pioneer Press profile. Steven is waiting for a match through the organization, which serves communities across the county. His guardian describes him as shy, nervous and loud, while his mother has said, according to the report, that Steven has a hard time learning and mostly wants to invest his time in video games and YouTube.

He also enjoys music, dance and art, and counts holidays among his favorite times of year. When it comes to food, Steven’s go-to is enchiladas, and he likes eating at Red Lobster. His wish list includes a trip to California and, more whimsically, a million dollars every day along with every gaming platform in existence.
