With the NBA playoffs in full swing, it's a great time to highlight the incredible work that 4th Family Inc is doing with the league. As the official STEM partner of the NBA, we curate programs that expose young minds to Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics utilizing the sports they love. In February, we teamed up with the Jr. NBA at All Star Weekend to showcase our Court Science combine. If you're interested in what 4th Family Inc can bring to your STEM-focused events, I’m always happy to share. PM me - I’m around. #STEM

In today's episode of The Balancing Act Podcast, 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.

Our clients, employees and communities are writing their own history every day by finding ways to turn their vision for a more vibrant future into a reality. Jahkeen Hoke, a Berkshire client who co-founded the nonprofit 4th Family Inc to help at-risk youth and the Albany Black Chamber of Commerce, says role models and mentors are the key. “I still look back at what I was told as a kid and learn from those lessons,” he says. #BlackHistoryMonth #WhereYouBankMatters

Thank you John Scott for your leadership of 4th Family Inc. Don’t forget to share names of nonprofit leaders who inspire YOU in the comments so their nonprofit organization can be eligible for a chance to be selected for one, $2,024 grant.

Last week 4th Family Inc partnered with Microsoft , the Polynesian Bowl , and the Boys & Girls Club of Hawaii to introduce students to STEAM curriculum through a series of mock NFL Combine drills; testing their strength, ability, and stamina while learning how to interpret the data behind their scores using Microsoft Surface devices. It was an absolute pleasure for our team to spend time absorbing the rich culture of the Polynesian people, while sharing our love for STEAM & Sports. While the video does a great job showcasing our stations... the article attached gives deeper understanding to the greater mission at hand.
