I SEE ME Club

Shifting the optics in the black community. We're redefining what it means to be a true hero.

What is the I SEE ME Club?

In as much as young people in the Black community need to look up and see role models in prominent careers, Black professionals themselves need to look around their work environment and feel reassured that they are welcomed, can bring all of themselves to work and they do not stick out like a sore thumb in place of work and business.

Brothers Who Care (BwC) presents the I SEE ME Project.  Through a process of learning, sharing and acting, we engage young people, parents and professionals through compelling storytelling and positive imagery to drive awareness and build financial sustainability in the black community.

The I SEE ME project is sponsored by CIBC Wood Gundy Group, specifically the McDonald Group and the Commerce Valley Financial Group.  The program is being delivered in partnership with The Stock Market Game, One Voice One Team (OVOT), the Youth Association for Academics, Athletics and Character Education (Y.A.A.A.C.E), and Longos.
