#PowerOf11, 2024, Ep. 2: George Nantwi

A trip down memory lane with George Kwame Nantwi, South Bronx United’s ultimate coach-mentor.

The #PowerOf11 campaign seeks to share South Bronx United's mission with the world through personal stories of those whose lives have been changed by South Bronx United.  As we are almost exclusively funded through the generous support of private funders and individuals like yourself, the campaign is also a crucial fundraising vehicle to ensuring all of our programs can sustain into the new program and school year. Visit powerof11.southbronxunited.org to learn more.

This season’s #PowerOf11 Podcast gives the listener another window into the lives those closest to South Bronx United’s work: our young people (participants, student-athletes), our staff, our coach-mentors, even a board member. Between June 1st and June 11th, Executive Director Andrew So will be sharing 11 conversations with them. 

In episode 2, Andrew reflects with George Kwame Nantwi, who has been with South Bronx United since the first year in 2009. He was born in Ghana and grew up in the Bronx. George is also a Senior Director for Columbia University's Teachers College Record and an Associate Program Manager at the Teachers College EdLab.
