The Windsor-Essex Children’s Aid Society (WECAS) is excited about offering an innovative new podcast, Inspiring Community. WECAS is very aware of the diverse, multi-faceted elements of our community that come together to support children, youth and families as they celebrate success and rise to overcome significant financial, social and mental health challenges. Hosts Mike Clark and Tina Allen will be reaching out to many of WECAS’ community partners and resource organizations to provide insight and helpful suggestions. These will in turn provide a tool kit for listeners to apply in terms of managing parenting issues, financial strain, strengthening relationships, self-care and so much more. Join us as we look at new ways to reach for a better tomorrow.

In this episode we speak with 2-time Olympian Brandon McBride about his Track & Field Career and the local not-for-profit organization he founded with partner, Yesmina Captan called the McBride Youth United Association (MYUA) located in Windsor, Ontario. An organization dedicated to serving at-risk youth in our community through mentorship opportunities. Brandon attributes his athletic and academic success to having strong mentors present throughout his life, so naturally, he wanted to create the same positive environment for other young people.
MYUA’s vision is to alleviate poverty and reassert a sense of hope in the Windsor-Essex County youth. Their mission is to empower at-risk, underrepresented, and racialized youth, guiding them toward reaching their full potential. Through the provision of mentorship, comprehensive educational programs, and the creation of safe spaces, they aim to foster environments where learning and personal growth are not just encouraged but flourish. Their mission is to be a beacon of support and opportunity, ensuring every young person they serve has the tools and resources to navigate life's challenges and succeed.
