Milwaukee Succeeds

With the help of our $75,000 capacity-building grant, BLMA students tackled dual enrollment courses at Marquette University and gained invaluable experiences at events like Data Day and Black Lives Matter Week of Action. BLMA staff also advanced their skills at the Black Male Summit and began exploring the creation of a teacher pipeline program.

The peace of mind that comes from knowing your child is safe and cared for is HUGE. That’s why we work so hard to expand access to high-quality, affordable care for ALL of Milwaukee’s families. https://lnkd.in/gC2S5qxJ

SKY Schools’ breathwork curriculum is an excellent example of what it means to listen to students and create supports that center their needs. Check out how it’s going: https://lnkd.in/gPihqd7N

We can’t believe it’s already September! With school in full swing and fall right around the corner, we want to take the chance to thank a few of our amazing partners: United Way of Greater Milwaukee and Waukesha County, The Literacy Lab and 4C for Children! https://lnkd.in/dQXhZgBU

The benefits of high-quality early childhood education span generations! An investment in ECE is an investment in the future of Milwaukee. https://lnkd.in/geQY6ReK

Malaika Early Learning Center, a longtime member of our ECE Coalition, recently kicked off the first day of school in style! Their tradition of drumming welcomes students while helping generate neuronal connections in all parts of the brain! Milwaukee Succeeds staff were on-hand to help “drum in” the new school year. 

When affordable, quality early childhood education is out of reach, women often bear the brunt of caregiving responsibilities, derailing their careers and limiting financial independence. Investing in ECE is essential—not just for our children but for the economic empowerment of women across our state. https://lnkd.in/geQY6ReK

Happy Labor Day! Today, we honor the hard work and dedication of all those who contribute to our communities. From our educators shaping young minds to the advocates fighting for equity in education, your efforts make Milwaukee stronger every day. Let's continue building a future where everyone has the opportunity to succeed.

Breathwork is more than just a practice – it's a pathway for students to thrive. With the right support from educators, parents and community leaders, we can create safe, nurturing environments where every young person has the tools they need to succeed. Let's come together to champion these spaces for our youth! https://lnkd.in/gPihqd7N

Last year, our ECE Ambassadors put in an AMAZING amount of work to spread the word about Milwaukee Succeeds and the importance of ECE. And this year has been just as busy – if not more! https://lnkd.in/gh2_EPj9
