After four years of spearheading Milwaukee Succeeds’ high school success work, Strategic Initiatives Manager Clintel Hasan is departing the organization, having decided to focus her time on education consulting. Her final day will be January 19.

Milwaukee Succeeds’ Youth Forward MKE Coalition has been chosen by The Wallace Foundation to participate in a one-time, one-year funding opportunity, called Advancing Opportunities for Adolescents. The coalition will use their $175,000 grant to launch the Milwaukee Freedom Academy, part of Design Your Future Proposal 3.

On Friday, May 12, three Youth Forward MKE Ambassadors presented at the 2023 Forum National Conference in Detroit alongside speaker David Emmanuelle Castillo of Equitable Systems Consultants.

After 6 weeks of planning, 58 Milwaukee students came up with 6 different plans for HOW education can shift to better support Black males in high school.

Strategic Initiatives Manager Clintel Hasan explains why Milwaukee Succeeds rallied the community around the Design Your Future fellowship.

Youth Forward MKE is asking Milwaukee youth to create proposals on HOW school can better support the educational success of Black male youth.

In a conversation with Milwaukee Succeeds Executive Director Danae Davis, reporter Sam Woods highlights how and why our organization is prioritizing the educational trajectory of Black male youth.
