For over 12 years on Saturday mornings in the summer time We Got This has welcomed young people from the neighborhood surrounding the We Got This Community Garden located on the corner of 9th and Ring in Milwaukee’s 53206 Zip Code. Participants of the We Got This program learn the basics of gardening and care for the organization’s multiple garden spaces within the neighborhood. Through weeding garden beds, planting trees, and figuring out how to bring water to newer garden spaces, the young people working with We Got This develop skills in communication, collaboration, and problem solving while changing the physical spaces and providing healthy food to residents within the poorest areas of the state of Wisconsin.
Participants, in middle and high school are paid $20 for their 4 hours of service to the neighborhood, but the life lessons and tangible skills they learn are priceless. Donate today!

My favorite part of the garden is helping people out. I like to go around and clean up trash too.
I like to mow neighbhors lawns. It is nice to get complements on that.
I help plant in the garden and things grew!
