About Mychael D. Winston
Background in Social Services | Community Advocate | Founder of Stones Echo Mentoring
Hello, I'm Mychael Winston, a dedicated professional with over 20 years of experience in the field of social services. I was born and raised in South Bend, Indiana, and my journey has been one of unwavering commitment to making a positive impact on the lives of disadvantaged youth and their families.
My career has been marked by hands-on experience, working directly with at-risk youth and their families. I've been instrumental in successfully helping individuals reintegrate into society after incarceration, providing them with guidance in developing treatment plans, setting goals, and finding meaningful employment opportunities.
My passion for mentoring and empowering those who need it most led me to establish Stones Echo Mentoring. I've personally witnessed the transformative power of having a mentor in the lives of individuals facing violence, educational challenges, and poverty.
In addition to my grassroots efforts, I've played a crucial role in reducing gun violence in South Bend. I've collaborated with law enforcement agencies and various organizations to drive change and save lives. My commitment extends to nurturing the next generation of community leaders and difference-makers, as I firmly believe that investing in our youth is the key to a brighter future.
Join me in my mission to build stronger, safer communities and make a lasting impact. Together, we can create a better tomorrow for those who need it most.
