Investments in Milwaukee Succeeds’ work help us leverage more public and private resources to advance equitable outcomes across the city.

2022 was a year of inspiring stories – stories of community, of progress and of hope. In every single story, though, one thing is clear: We could not have done this work alone.

Systems don't change overnight. This work takes time. It takes partners who are in it for the long haul, data that accurately reflects our community and its challenges, and a concerted effort to center community voice. For over a decade, Milwaukee Succeeds has worked to put these crucial elements in place.

In 2022, we learned what it means to operate as a truth-seeking organization. It means partnering authentically with others who are committed to the same outcomes and consistently exercising inclusivity as we engage with and learn from youth and community.
