Walker's Point Youth & Family Center: Providing Hope and Support for Milwaukee's Homeless Youth
Walker's Point Youth & Family Center is a non-profit organization that has been serving the homeless youth of Milwaukee since 1976. The center provides a range of services to help young people who are experiencing homelessness, including counseling, emergency housing, education and employment support, and more.
At Walker's Point Youth & Family Center, we believe that every young person deserves a safe and stable place to call home. Unfortunately, many young people in our community face significant challenges that make it difficult for them to find or maintain housing. These challenges can include family conflict or abuse, poverty, mental health issues, substance abuse problems, or other factors.
Our mission is to provide hope and support to these young people by offering them the resources they need to overcome their challenges and build brighter futures. We do this through a variety of programs and services designed specifically for homeless youth.
One of our core programs is our counseling services. We offer free and confidential counseling sessions with licensed therapists who specialize in working with youth who are experiencing homelessness. Our counselors work with each individual client to identify their unique needs and goals, then develop personalized treatment plans that address those needs.
In addition to counseling services, we also offer emergency housing assistance for youth who are experiencing homelessness or at risk of becoming homeless. Our emergency shelter provides a safe place for young people to stay while they work on finding more permanent housing solutions.
We also offer education support through our GED program as well as employment training opportunities so that these youths can gain skills necessary for future success in life after leaving the center.
At Walker's Point Youth & Family Center we understand how important it is not only provide immediate assistance but also long-term solutions so we have developed transitional living programs which help prepare clients transition into independent living situations by providing them with life skills training such as budgeting classes among others.
Our team at Walker's Point Youth & Family Center consists of dedicated professionals who are passionate about helping homeless youth achieve stability in their lives. We work tirelessly every day towards achieving our goal of ending youth homelessness in Milwaukee once-and-for-all!
