Our projects seek to empower low-income communities in Milwaukee and throughout Wisconsin by developing nonpartisan public policy, building community coalitions, and preventing the root causes of poverty before they cause harm to individuals, families, and the community.
We are building the technical expertise of local human services professionals and interested community members through a variety of training opportunities focused on substance abuse, mental health, and coalition building.
Our calendar is full of training opportunities, coalition meetings, conversations, and outreach events.
