WHAT DO WE DO
• The Youth Council is a youth run organization that has
monthly activities planned by the Youth Council
Board. The Youth Council's motto is "to have fun
and learn new things". Each month the Youth
Council will hold an activity that is designed around
that motto. This allows for all youth enrolled in
Wraparound Milwaukee and REACH to use their
leadership and creative skills. In the past we've done
activities such as bowling outings, summer picnics, car
washes and skating parties. We've also brought in
speakers to talk about things such as budgeting and
career paths.
