About Us
At City Outreach, we know that there are a lot of bricks to lay when building a life. We connect individuals to the tools and support they need to build a lasting foundation.
Our history
City Outreach was founded in 2015 as a nonprofit organization with the mission of empowering youth, families, and adults to realize their full potential through skill-building and access to essential resources. Founder and Director Ken Browne established the organization with his own lived experiences as a Black male youth in Milwaukee County at the forefront of its vision. Inspired by the positive impact of programs such as Wraparound Milwaukee, he committed to creating opportunities for others in his community who face mental, economic, and educational challenges.
City Outreach’s program model is rooted in the belief that every individual possesses unique strengths and abilities. By identifying and amplifying these inherent qualities, the organization helps build strong foundations for long-term success. Through supportive services, comprehensive care, and mentorship, City Outreach remains dedicated to improving the quality of life for individuals living with mental illness and empowering them to thrive within their communities.
Our mission
City Outreach empowers youth, families, and adults to actualize their potential by equipping them with the skills and resources to progress beyond mental, economic, and/or educational barriers.
