Program Benefits

How Will My Organization Benefit?

Through Future Milwaukee, organizations benefit because participants:

  • Create and lead teams and groups for optimal collaborative decision-making.
  • Develop the skills needed to perform competently and effectively in diverse social and professional communities.
  • Cultivate personal and professional leadership skills that will give participants a solid base from which to continue growing as leaders.

How Will My Community Benefit?

Future Milwaukee’s mission is to develop leaders that will give back to their community and make lasting, positive contributions. Your particular community will benefit in many ways including the use of your enhanced leadership skills, your increased community contacts, your knowledge of leading and working with teams, and your experience in working on community projects.

What Can I Do Afterwards?

Future Milwaukee works with many different organizations to help you find the right niche. The Volunteer Center of Milwaukee will find group opportunities for service if you wish to continue working with your Future Milwaukee classmates after graduation. Board Star is an online service that helps match your skills and interests to open seats on boards. Project Ripple Effect also provides a website with many volunteer opportunities. It is also not uncommon that our graduates have been asked to serve on the boards of their project partner not-for-profit agency.

Professional Project For Master's Degree

By participating in the nine-month Future Milwaukee program, you will complete an approved project with a nonprofit agency partner. This experience can be incorporated into a scholarly paper and one of several capstone project options for the master of arts in public service or master in leadership studies offered through Marquette University's College of Professional Studies.
