What we do

NFL Alumni.
Real Mentors.
Real Talk.

Our co-founders Ricky Ray and Claude Harriott didn't just play professional football — they lived the pressures, the decisions, and the turning points that define a young athlete's journey. They bring that lived experience into every session, making each conversation authentic, raw, and genuinely impactful.

What People Are Saying

"As a mother of four and psychiatrist, I know firsthand the importance of instilling confidence, self-esteem, values and a sense of purpose in young people. Quest-Act and the dedication of professional athletes like Ricky Ray fills the winning mission which so many young student-athletes of color need; to be seen, listened too, and poured into with wisdom and love, about the importance of academics, their strength of character and expected success. Our society needs more programs like this one, for our youth of color as they seek to establish themselves with the strong legacy and guidance of men like Ricky Ray and others.”
