Neu-Life Community Development

Thank you to the BizTimes Milwaukee and Hunter Turpin for highlighting NeuVue and helping share the vision behind this transformative project for Milwaukee’s young adults.

NeuVue represents more than affordable housing, it’s about creating pathways to stability, opportunity, mentorship, and long-term community impact. We’re grateful to everyone helping bring this vision to life and are excited for what’s ahead.

A successful insightful night with our Mayor ✨

United Neighborhood Centers of Milwaukee (UNCOM) put together an incredible event hosted by Neu-Life with Mayor Cavalier Johnson and city officials. The youth of the UNCOM family had the opportunity to voice their thoughts and opinions on important issues affecting them as teens.

Great conversation that will bring about more collaboration between the youth and our city officials. Thank you to UNCOM for a fun and engaging night and to our Mayor, Chief of Police, and the director of City of Milwaukee Office of Community Wellness and Safety for taking the time out of their busy schedules!

The youth are the future, so let’s help them build their better tomorrow TOGETHER ✨

We’re excited to celebrate that Neu-Life Community Development has been awarded $1.8 million through the State of Wisconsin’s Non-State Grant Program in support of the NeuVue Project.

Thank you to Governor Tony Evers, the Wisconsin Department of Administration, and all partners helping make transformational community development possible across Wisconsin.

This investment will help bring NeuVue’s vision to life, creating affordable housing and a supportive community where young adults can access workforce development, educational opportunities, mentorship, and the resources they need to build stable, self-sufficient futures.

‼️ BOOST CONFERENCE ‼️

Our Executive Director Jody Rhodes, and Siefert Site Coordinator, Autumn Bernardski attended the Boost Conference in Palm Springs California. A fantastic professional development event for after school, expanded learning, and community partnership professionals. Amazing resource and tools they bring back to Neu-Life.

Special thanks to the State of Wisconsin- Division of Public of Health To***co Prevention Program for sending Jody and Autumn to this event!

SPECIAL CONGRATULATIONS to our NewComer of the Year Award Winner at the WACYCP Awards, James Noid-binns!

James has been at Neu-Life since he was 4 years old starting at Gwen T Jackson, becoming a teen worker at YWIC and has since graduated the program becoming a Youth Worker and Lead Teacher to our youth and kids. He is the real life example of our model in best practice and we could not be more PROUD of the growth and the Youth Worker he is becoming.

Neu-Life family help us in congratulating James on this major accomplishment in his youth work journey! ✨

✨ Highlights from our Youth vs Cop Cook Off ✨

Our teen workers had an incredible event with Milwaukee Police Department - District 3 where the my had a cool off competition against our local officers. The food category? Breakfast Food 😋

Great event, with very healthy competition per usual from our teens 😅 and even more so, great dialogue and conversation about safety, comfortability around law enforcement, and real issues that plague our teens and city. Real conversations over a good meal bring about real transformative change.

Thank you MPD Distrcit 3 for a fantastic event! ✨

And oh by the way, our youth won😌 and they’re looking forward to the rematch!

Love our partnership with Milwaukee Police Department - District 3!

Happy Green Socks Day 💚🧦

Neu-Life is a proud program partner of SecureFutures and their Future Ready Finances Campaign! They have taught our youth so much about financial literacy and education and we want to help spread their message! If you are in need of their programming we highly recommend their programming for all your financial literacy needs.

Thank you Secure Futures. We are so thankful for the work you do!

Time for some Spring Cleaning 🌺🌼

It’s starting to get warmer outside so our Teen Workers decided to go out and do some cleaning! Picking up cigarette buds and to***co remnants are apart of the initiative for drug and to***co prevention and being active in the community is a GREAT way to take a stand against it.

Of course they turned into a competition of who could gather the most cause they’re always hyper competitive with each other 😂
