5 youth-led teams + $20,000 = hundreds of young people reached. Through our Youth-Led #Grantmaking Project, young people had the resources and power to turn their ideas into action Our new #report takes a look at what they achieved – and what they learned. milwaukeesucceeds.org/our-re…
Baltimore was the place to be! From September 30-October 2, Milwaukee Succeeds joined @StriveTogether's Cradle to Career Network Convening for big conversations, new connections and fresh ideas from communities across the country.
We’re proud to be featured by WillBridge in a new Impact Story about the power of partnership – and what happens when complex #childcare data is turned into something people can actually use. 📊willbridge.io/impact-stories…
Numbers are just the beginning. The real story is in how we bring them to life. 📊 On Sept. 17, partners, staff members and friends got hands-on, learning how thoughtful visuals and a strong narrative can transform the way information is shared.
What does it take to make #GetKidsReady work in real classrooms? A lot of learning, sharing and problem-solving. 🌱 On August 8, our Get Kids Ready #Milwaukee cohort gathered to build practical skills and share creative ideas to strengthen the implementation of Get Kids Ready.
After 2+ years with Milwaukee Succeeds, ECE Manager Yimma Davila-Castro is moving on to her next chapter. 💙Yimma has served as a trusted partner to ECE providers and a thoughtful leader of the MKE ECE Coalition. We’ll miss her and wish her all the best! milwaukeesucceeds.org/news/y…
Early educators give so much to our children and families – they deserve spaces to recharge, connect and feel supported, too! On August 6, local #earlyeducators gathered for an evening of good food, connection and fun, all designed to support their #wellbeing.
What happens when the people who care for our youngest learners get the time, tools and support to care for themselves too? 💛 Our new Caring for Caregivers #SuccessStory highlights why creating space for #educator well-being truly matters. Check it out: milwaukeesucceeds.org/succes…

Building a strong foundation for children It starts in the everyday moments that often go unseen.
Through our new #PhotoVoice Project, #Milwaukee educators are sharing stories and images that reveal the depth of their work - and the value it provides. milwaukeesucceeds.org/blog/s…
Powerful insights often come from those inside the work. Our new #PhotoVoice report offers a brand-new look beneath the surface of #earlychildhoodeducation. Through photos and stories, #Milwaukee’s early educators are breaking down what ECE means to them. milwaukeesucceeds.org/our-re…
$250,000 to keep building Wisconsin’s future! 🎉
We’re thrilled to share that the Wisconsin Partnership has been awarded $250,000 from @StriveTogether to continue building stronger systems and creating better outcomes for children, youth and families across #Wisconsin.
🚨 Behind every #ECE program closure is a story about capacity, pressure and survival in #Milwaukee’s #childcare system. Our newest Stability Project blog explores what closure data reveals – and how it can help guide smarter supports for providers. milwaukeesucceeds.org/blog/t…
🚪 The next piece of the Stability Project is here! The closure metric looks at where #earlychildhoodeducation programs are closing in #Milwaukee and what those patterns reveal about the health of our #childcare system. Explore the data: milwaukeesucceeds.org/our-re…
Care can be simple - and powerful. That’s the goal behind @NeighborMKE’s Keep a Clean Mind, a #youthled project providing hygiene kits and outreach support to strengthen #wellbeing and restore dignity in the community. milwaukeesucceeds.org/youth-…
Opportunities shouldn’t be hard to find. Especially for our youth. Through the MKELove Summer Kickback, youth at Project Kindred created a space where #Milwaukee’s young people could plug into programs, meet orgs and leave with real next steps. milwaukeesucceeds.org/youth-…
#Art doesn’t have to stay inside four walls.
Through YardWork, youth artists at @WalkersPointArt are transforming Walker’s Point into a living #gallery filled with affirming messages, creativity and community expression. milwaukeesucceeds.org/youth-…
At its core, stability helps answer a simple but important question: Who is able to keep going? By focusing on #ECE programs that are able to stay open throughout the entire year, we get a clearer sense of how dependable our #childcare system really is. milwaukeesucceeds.org/blog/u…
