The ones making a difference...

Creating a healthy community is not done by one organization or a single political leader but by people from within the community. Residents collectively aspire to better their community by caring for their neighborhoods, homes, and families — now and for generations to come.

By caring for the community

Many people living in the Northside put their community's development as a top-priority. These active community members constantly strive to better their community's health, conditions, and quality of life.

By encompassing cultural diversity

The Southeast Asian American story exemplifies the cultural diversity within the Northside neighborhoods of Milwaukee. As we explored how a displaced community migrated and recreated home in Milwaukee, we found how they weaved their values and traditions into the diverse culture of Northside.
