The K12 Civic Action Team Presents: EmpowerED MKE

Youth Forward MKE isn’t just about preparing individual leaders – it’s about creating lasting change. The K12 Civic Action Team, the policy arm of Youth Forward MKE, is tackling educational issues from the ground up, working to influence policies and practices across the city.

“Our policy agenda is ambitious and critical, targeting change that will help ensure that all students, no matter their background, have access to quality education,” said Maria Hamidu, Milwaukee Succeeds’ high school success project manager.

To support this movement, the group is hosting a powerful convening of likeminded people who are ready to push for change. EmpowerED MKE will take place on November 9 at ThriveOn King, providing youth, families, educators and community members with the tools to build power and advocate for their communities. The day will feature discussions on Milwaukee’s education history, organizing strategies and school quality, culminating with actionable steps that community members can take to drive change.
