Milwaukee
We’re changing the face and practice of leadership in Milwaukee. At Public Allies Milwaukee, we believe changing times call for a new kind of leadership. Since 1994, we’ve developed more than 275 young leaders. Allies are young, diverse, and passionate social change makers who support community projects in partnership with hundreds of local nonprofit organizations.
Our Allies change their lives and our community through a rigorous AmeriCorps program that combines full-time, paid apprenticeships in nonprofits with intensive skills training, active community-building projects, personalized coaching, and critical reflection. We provide all of this through a nationally recognized approach that’s rooted in a practice of values.
Everyone leads… and we walk the talk. Our Allies are ages 18 to 30, and over 48% are people of color and 46% are college graduates. Allies are of and for our local community, and they share a deep commitment to strengthening Milwaukee.
We’re creating pathways for a stronger community and a lifetime of impact. More than half of Alumni continue a career in the nonprofit and public sectors, and 100% of Alumni say they would participate again if they could. Partner organizations report that their work with an Ally increases their capacity by up to 30%! Results like these have led Public Allies to be recognized as a model for national service.
