Sign our Petition around Youth Investment !
With the support of BTB's Policy Working Group, we have created a petition around investment in youth development. We are calling on city leaders to act now, on behalf of children and youth in our city with an immediate investment of $30 million dollars of ARPA funding. We invite Milwaukee youth, other residents, youth development providers, and community leaders to join us in this advocacy campaign. Read & sign the full petition request here.
