OUR PROGRAMS

We build community engagement and power around critical water issues through
connection, collaboration, and broad community leadership.

Water City Agenda

A community-defined vision for Milwaukee as a
model water city developed through a highly
participatory process shared by more than 1,300 residents.

6 INITIATIVE AREAS provide long-term vision and short-term steps (see icons below)

We Are Water

A rich inter-arts, community-wide lakefront celebration of our common waters, this annual event brings together people of all races, cultures and ages to create meaningful connections to our water and each other.

Water School

Each year, we bring community partners from all over the city together to participate in a year-long program called Water School. We support future water stewards and leaders within their communities through education, collaboration, art-making, and project development.
