Watch Now: Winter Coalition Meeting

“I want to welcome you guys to a good place, a safe place, an awesome space where you guys can cooperate.”

That’s how 2022 Youth Forward MKE Ambassador Deh Nee opened the partnership’s final meeting of the year on December 14, setting the stage for an open and honest discussion about youth-adult relationships and collaboration.

Specifically, Youth Forward MKE highlighted two local organizations who are currently demonstrating what it looks like to authentically partner with youth: Youth Justice Milwaukee and the United Way Community Schools Partnership. They also unveiled their new data-driven tool, the Youth Adult Equity Assessment, and looked forward into 2023 with a hope of deeper cooperation and shared support.
