Oh, are we going to miss our students who have been volunteering with us these past two weeks! Whether it was helping in our early childhood classrooms or assisting with our maple sugar program at our Nature Center, they really became part of our family. Today was their last day with us — we wish them well and hope their time with us was as fruitful for them as it was for us.

MOTIVATIONAL MONDAY
In addition to being Neighborhood House of Milwaukee’s Accounting Assistant, Keisha White may be the first smiling, friendly face you see when you come to Neighborhood House of Milwaukee, as she frequently helps greet people at our front desk. Keisha shares what she loves most about her job:
“What inspires me about Neighborhood House of Milwaukee is the family element of the organization. I am amazed to learn that a lot of the parents that come in with their children now once attended here as children as well. “
“The educators and staff are incredible individuals and are a pleasure to work with. The best parts of my day are when the children — toddlers to teens — say hello or wave to me when they come in. Neighborhood House of Milwaukee has a sense of community and family that I have not previously experienced at prior workplaces.”
Founded in 1945 as a safe and nurturing place for urban youth, families and seniors, Neighborhood House has grown into a modern, 60,000 square-foot facility that has served more than a third million children and adults. Today NH serves over 2,000 people annually and provides accredited child care, pre-school, programs for kids, teens, families, refugees, and elders .Neighborhood House empowers children, families and individuals to move beyond the barriers of poverty, gain self-sufficiency and realize their full potential.
