About the provider

Project Kindred says its work grew from years of learning alongside youth and families across Milwaukee. Its roots are in 2008, with a joined path in 2020, a summer community in 2017, and the launch of Navigators in 2025. Project Kindred creates a citywide leadership system where young people discover who they are, connect across Milwaukee, and prepare to lead in every part of their lives.

Values include kindness, courage, community, joy, and self-awareness. Youth lead; families guide; mentors support; partners expand opportunity. The PK Way and the Sandbox keep spaces safe, consistent, and joyful.
