Additional Information

Our organization is for socially disadvantaged, children of all ages (1 to 18), race religion, sex or national origin, our mission is to help keep these kids off the streets, out of the gangs, off drugs and out of jail. We hope to do this by giving them a fun and safe environment to interact.   Over the years we have accomplish this goal by having events for the kids at various centers, gyms, halls, and parks, places like the Sherman Park Lutheran Church, Milwaukee County Parks, Pavilion, and Halls, events like holiday parties, dances, picnic, etc.… We also take the kids on field trips to sporting events like Milwaukee Brewers and Milwaukee Bucks and festivals like the State Fair, Summerfest, Italian Fiesta and more. We will like to open our own center, we have found that it is becoming increasingly difficult and limited by funds, for us to use others facilities.   We can help as many as one thousand kids per month, stay safe from the dangerous streets, by keeping them occupied and out of trouble, with our programs like the recording studio, computer lab, and study center. The kids will not only learn but be entertained, we know that kids, just like the adults need to be entertained, we also feel there is a void in this city when it comes to entertaining kids, most of the venues in the city, like bowling lanes, movie theaters, arcades, clubs are closed down and the ones that are open are for profit, the kids cannot afford to attend.   We will make this a success, for the kids of Milwaukee. Our staff will be teens and adults from the community and other programs, we’ll be helping them become productive citizens in the community, with a full paid staff of about Ten and a large volunteer staff.   Over the years many organizations have given us support and contributed their service, places like the Milwaukee Brewers, Milwaukee Bucks , Office of the Mayor, African World Festivals, UW-Madison, Alderman Don Richard’s, Metro Parent Magazine, Milwaukee Admirals, Northcott Neighborhood Assoc. Wisconsin Black Historical Society Museum, Mexican Fiesta, Sherman Park Lutheran Church, The Blood Center of Wisconsin, Mario Dickens Creations, Walgreens, Wall-Mart, B&B Printing and Father For Progress, CYD, more.   We have accomplished many goals and participated in many events, for years we have participated with the Juneteenth celebration, with the Northcott Neighborhood House and the Fourth of July Milwaukee County Parks celebration with Now We Praise, Annual Back to School Event, Day of Prayer. We also have had many holiday dances and picnic for the kids and family members. Throughout this year we have taken many area kids to numerous Milwaukee Brewers Game, Summerfest, African World Festival, State Fair, Mexican Festival, Universal Soul Circus, Wisconsin Badgers Games, Fishing, Museums, and many more events, all with the help of donated tickets and in-kind gifts from the participating businesses. Each of them with commitments to help us again in the coming years
