Youth MKE’s goals

This program works to equip youth with the tools and opportunities to build social-emotional skills, strengthen relationships, develop a positive sense of self, avoid risky behaviors, and build a powerful vision for their future. Youth become prepared to navigate life’s challenges through their teenage years – and beyond – as well as building positive relations with their peers and making a difference in their community.
