Community Service Program

RESTORATIVE JUSTICE & COMMUNITY SERVICE PROGRAM

We partner with agencies such as Community Partners and the Milwaukee Municipal Courts to recruit and refer young people who are in the juvenile court system, First Time Juvenile Offender Programs, and those identified as at-risk for tagging/vandalism related offenses and gang members to our Adopt a Community Program and Urban Arts Program to work off community service hours by giving back to the community through clean ups and community murals.

Volunteers working together with TRUE Skool’s youth participants, staff, and UWM’s and MIAD’s Service Learning students work together to identify areas in our target neighborhoods that are hot spots for tagging. Participants also work with students of the Urban Art Classes, residents, businesses and local law enforcement agencies on illegal graffiti removal projects, educational workshops and community murals that will beautify and reduce the number of tagging incidents in our target areas. This initiative is lead by youth who participate in the Urban Art classes and youth referred to our Community Service Program who have tagging/vandalism related offenses or are at risk for police arrests.

If you or someone you know could benefit from this program please contact us to learn how to participate.
