Description
In today's episode, I'd like to introduce you to the wonderful work of 4th Family, Inc. 4th Family empowers youth to learn science, technology, engineering, and mathematics through their love of sports. In the words of 4th Family co-founder John Scott, "4th Family is a non-profit organization working closely mentoring at-risk youth and one of our key focus areas is exciting kids about the opportunities in STEM by showcasing the science behind the sports they love to play. We believe that transformation is possible for all children in order to give them a chance to live their best life. However, if you can’t see it, you can’t be it. Currently, women and people of color are significantly underrepresented in all STEM fields. We exist to change those statistics going forward."
Today, we have Jahkeen Hoke and Brandon Lindsay joining us. Jahkeen is the co-founder of 4th Family, Inc. and is the former CEO of Business for Good. Brandon is the chief partnership officer at 4th Family, Inc. and has held business development roles at LinkedIn, Kaplan, and City National Rochdale.
