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

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, from 4th grade to 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!

Words from kids on the block

  • Saturday mornings is a blessing for every kid to come out and enjoy themselves and have fun and stay out of trouble so they don’t get locked up somewhere.

    Harris
  • The reason why I do this is because when I ask 48 African American Boys and ask how many of them never knew their father and 38 boys raise their hands… There is something wrong with those numbers.

    We got to save these boys and these boys are becoming Great Black Men.

    Andre Ellis
  • Helping me become a man and better person. This is bringing the hood together. I would like to continue this program and make my life better.
