What is the MKE Peace Project?
The MKE Peace Project (MPP) challenges youth in the central city to assess the causes of violence in their neighborhoods and, subsequently, to provide solutions to the problem. The MPP goal is simple: to promote youth dialogues around violence prevention. We believe that to imagine and promote peace in Milwaukee, our youth must be actively involved.
