The Center for Resilient Cities, a non-profit organization, promotes best practices in sustainable community development by becoming a role model. Its dedicated men and women work with neighbors in building resilient communities that are good for both people and the environment.
Its innovative approach to community development begins with asking neighbors about their needs, values and priorities in relation to their community. It will then lend its expertise in community development and establish partnerships, both with the goal of addressing the neighborhood’s present and future challenges.
The organization has been involved in several community development projects with several also being currently implemented. These include the Badger Rock Center, a community-inspired collaboration; the Johnsons Park Initiative involving the rehabilitation of its facilities especially its playground and baseball diamond; and the schools in the City of Milwaukee including Brown Street Academy, Highland Community School, and Milwaukee Environmental Sciences School.
The Center for Resilient Cities is also crafting resilient children through its Parent Circles and Educator Workshops.
