Unity in Motion, Inc

A long-term commitment to Milwaukee's central city youth

For youth to succeed, 3 key areas need to be working: home life, academic and character development in school and wise usage of choice time.

If one area is struggling you have a problem, if two are struggling you have a crisis, if all three are in turmoil the youth's life is often taken over by social service agencies or the juvenile correctional system.

That's why Unity in Motion forms a long-term relationship (as early as 4th grade through post-secondary education), then builds and delivers quality programming, financial support and high quality school and organizational partnerships around that relationship-- in other words -- delivers "The Promise" from adolescence through post-secondary education.

“There are a lot of programs for youth in Milwaukee, but few of them provide the long term, wrap around support that UIM offers. In the short term, UIM teaches children self-discipline, commitment and service and provides another sense of family. The fact that UIM makes a long-term commitment to kids and their families is absolutely central to their effectiveness.”
