Building connections at Owen’s Place.

MELI participated in the Owen’s Place Resource Roundup, connecting with organizations that serve Milwaukee’s young people.

The gathering provided time to strengthen relationships, discuss future collaboration, and learn about additional opportunities for community engagement.

For MELI, these conversations help build a network of support around youth empowerment and future programming.

Together We Create 4 Kids.

MELI joined this literacy and empowerment experience as a community resource organization, introducing our youth development work and connecting with families and prospective participants.

Twenty-four people signed up for MELI follow-up. The event also opened conversations with community organizations about future programming and collaboration.

Each connection is an opportunity to expand awareness, strengthen relationships, and bring more resources into reach for young people.
