New York, NY – Children's Aid is proud to introduce “Every Step of the Way: Conversations that Inspire,” a new biweekly podcast that brings to life the powerful stories of alumni whose journeys have been shaped by the organization’s programs.

Co-hosted by Georgia Boothe and Sandra Escamilla, executive vice presidents at Children’s Aid, the podcast features alumni who have overcome obstacles, achieved success, and are now giving back to their communities. Listeners will hear from an award-winning playwright, a dedicated school principal, and a chief thoracic surgeon — each sharing how Children's Aid programs and mentors played a pivotal role in their personal and professional growth.

“Bringing these stories to life has been an emotional and inspiring experience,” said Georgia Boothe. “This podcast is a testament to the determination of our youth and families, and we hope it inspires listeners everywhere.” 

“These conversations highlight the deep and lasting impact of Children’s Aid,” added Sandra Escamilla. “It’s incredible to see alumni use the tools they’ve gained to uplift others and create opportunities for future generations.”

New episodes of “Every Step of the Way” will be released biweekly on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and all major podcast platforms. To listen to the first episode and learn more about Children’s Aid, visit www.childrensaidnyc.org/every-step-of-the-way-podcast.
