Project Kindred
Milwaukee is consistently identified as the most racially segregated city in our nation. Our children grow up with little to no opportunity to build trust, understanding, and empathy with those who are different from them. As a result, ignorance and bias perpetuate continued segregation. Without formative experiences with people of different race, ethnicity and economic advantage, it is challenging to build a Milwaukee that creates equity, dignity, and justice for all. We work to disrupt that cycle by connecting youth through transformative experiences at a pivotal age. We develop new generations of diverse, culturally competent, empowered leaders equipped with the skills, values, and relationships necessary to disrupt the cycle of segregation in Milwaukee by building just, equitable, and loving communities.
