Dismantle Racism

Dismantling Racism is Necessary for Communities to Thrive

It is clear that racism and white supremacy in our systems, communities, and schools are killing Black, Brown, and Indigenous people. This is unjust. Our efforts towards racial equity in response to this work have not been enough. As an office, we have much work to do. We invite our current, former, and potential community partners, volunteers, and colleagues not already engaged in the work of confronting and dismantling racist systems to join us in this necessary work. Change is only achieved when we commit to long-term, sustained work as a community.

4-H Tech Wizards Gather for Summer Camp

4-H Tech Wizards Explore Science Careers in Summer Progarm

The Milwaukee County 4-H Tech Wizard program at Highland Community School has 30 Middle School youth focused on water technology and careers!

This summer, the youth wanted to dive deeper into possible careers related to water and Milwaukee’s impact locally and globally. Join us now as we highlight their experience!
