Sean Spencer grew up in a single-parent household in the Lincoln-Lemington-Belmar neighborhood after losing his father to gun violence when he was ten years old. He would help his grandparents volunteer at food banks and community centers as a child. The values of education and work ethic were embedded in Sean by his mother. Sean then became a part of the Journey to Medicine mentor program in the 6th grade, which instilled in him the principles of community service and “Each one, Teach one”. He would later work for Journey to Medicine as a coordinator after graduating from the program. He graduated from Pittsburgh Allderdice in 2016 and then studied Journalism at Duquesne University, graduating in 2020. Right out of college, he worked for The Pittsburgh Promise as a Promise Coach at Pittsburgh Milliones 6-12, servicing students with emotional support, developing college and career plans, and providing a safe space for students to be themselves. While earning his MBA, Sean began working at the IT company Unisys and is currently in an Executive Support role. Outside of work, Sean is a Co-Founder and Executive Director of Future Kings Mentoring, a 501c3 nonprofit organization. Their mission is to cultivate and develop male-identifying black youth into realizing they are Future Kings - young successful leaders in their careers, communities, and in their worlds. The mentor program works with black and brown males in the Pittsburgh area. It provides group mentoring with topics such as financial literacy, college and career preparation, confidence, self-esteem building, and leadership skills.
