Gratefully building on the work of the Holton Youth and Family Center
Since 1989, the Holton Youth and Family Center has played a central role in the revitalization of the Harambee and Riverwest neighborhoods in Milwaukee. It was founded by a group of concerned citizens who through the years engaged thousands of Milwaukee youth in positive programming, changing the trajectory young lives. Now, as the needs of the community evolve, the Center will continue to be a hub for services that support children and families, with a special emphasis on early intervention mental health for children. A STRONG MILWAUKEE starts here.
“The needs of the community are evolving, and so the Holton Youth and Family Center is evolving, too. We believe that there is presently a desperate need to identify and treat children with mental health and trauma issues in our neighborhood and in our city. Treating these children effectively has a positive impact on the child, the child’s family, teachers, and the city for years to come.”
– Mario Costantini, Board Chair, Holton Youth and Family Center
“The Holton Youth and Family Center is a familiar landmark in the community. Kids and families will feel comfortable coming here. The center will continue to be a resource for building stronger kids, stronger families and a stronger community.”
– Dr. Ashley Schoof, SE Wisconsin Clinical Director, Christian Family Solutions
