Support our mission to provide young people the opportunity to make their neighborhood a better place

This summer, We Got This welcomed an average of 147 kids every Saturday across our twelve-week program. Together, they contributed 7,000+ hours of service, picked up 15,000 gallons of trash, and cared for 15 formerly vacant lots—turning them into gardens and beautiful community spaces in 53206.
And next year? We expect even more kids.

Donate today so young people can earn money while strengthening their neighborhood.

For over 10 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!
