Walker’s Point Youth & Family Center will be celebrating 48 years of serving Milwaukee’s youth and families. We are commemorating that milestone with Hope Lives Here - An Evening for Walker’s Point on March 13th, 2024 at the Milwaukee Center for the Performing Arts. We hope you will help support our efforts to sustain our free services for young people in crisis.  

About Us:  Our mission is to provide safety to the young people of Milwaukee through free and confidential counseling and case management, temporary shelter for youth, and housing for young adults. We provide youth in crisis with an inclusive and stable space where they are empowered to create a safe and healthy life. We are a private non-profit 501(c)3 organization (Tax ID#39-1247541).

Our Programs 

emergency shelter for 11-17 year olds 
mental health counseling for 11-25 year olds & 24/7 crisis hotline  
transitional housing and case management for young adults 18-25 years old
*New this year* on-site mental health counseling at after school program on the south side

Our Results: In our last fiscal year we offered 116 youth face to face services including emergency shelter/and or mental health counseling. We responded to 709 crisis calls in the last year. 99% of the youth in shelter returned home or to an acceptable alternative. 93% of the youth reported new or strengthened relationships with at least one caring adult. We’re proud to share that $.88 of every $1.00 raised went to these critical programs.
