It’s Monday in Milwaukee, and here are some things we think you should know about as the nation grapples with the COVID-19 pandemic. If you would like your event to be considered for this column, please email info@milwaukeenns.org and put “5 things” in the subject line by noon Thursday.

1. Earn & Learn application period is open: Through March 19

The application period for the City of Milwaukee’s Earn & Learn Summer Youth Internship Program is open.

2. Native American Vaccine Event: Tuesday, March 9 through Thursday, March 11



The Native Community Vaccine Event will run from Tuesday, March 9 to Thursday, March 11 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day. The Gerald L. Ignace Indian Health Center, working with the Wisconsin Department of Human Services, seeks to provide the COVID-19 vaccine to the Native American population of the greater Milwaukee area. This week’s effort is aimed at  Natives who fit the following criteria, whether they are an established Ignace patient or not:

  • Any enrolled tribal members (or descendants) who reside in Milwaukee County who are ages 18 and older
  • Upon arrival, potential recipients will need to provide Tribal ID/CDIB or proof of descendancy.

Community members who would like to receive a vaccine are required to register before the event by clicking here or by calling (414) 316-3737.
