Urban Underground is a place where young people find their voice and pursue their dreams. It is a place where they find a second family of peers and adults who support them in doing their best. Since its founding in 2000, over 6,000 youth have applied to join Urban Underground and over 600 have successfully completed our comprehensive life skills and leadership program. Although many of our alum credit the program for their success we recognize that their greatness is a reflection of their courage to step up, show up, and succeed in the program and in life. We remain committed to providing nationally recognized programming that builds civic capacity, resiliency, and leadership among youth and young adults in Milwaukee.
