Milwaukee Succeeds

Milwaukee Succeeds is a collaborative effort to unite the community around a common goal: bringing about lasting change to the way education works for children in Milwaukee.

Milwaukee Succeeds is a collaborative effort launched in summer 2011 by the Greater Milwaukee Foundation, Greater Milwaukee Committee, Metropolitan Milwaukee Association of Commerce, Milwaukee Urban League, United Way of Greater Milwaukee and the Helen Bader Foundation as a way to unite the community around a common goal: bringing about lasting change to the way education works for children in Milwaukee.

Many other organizations have joined the collaboration; and the Northwestern Mutual Foundation, Greater Milwaukee Foundation, the United Way and the Helen Bader Foundation have provided early financial support for Milwaukee Succeeds.

VISION
Success for every child, in every school, cradle to career.

MISSION
Milwaukee Succeeds unites our community around a commitment to support strategies that will achieve our shared vision of success for every child, in every school, cradle to career.

The work of Milwaukee Succeeds actually happens in our Collaborative Action Networks (“networks”). Networks include key partners that work with our kids, schools, and families to implement promising practices and evaluate their effectiveness. The projects described here are efforts our networks have taken to address specific target areas that networks partners have identified as key to improving outcomes.
