Journey House Annual Appeal 2026

See the difference your support makes in our inspirational video:

Bring Joy. Create Opportunity. Change the Game for Generations.

At Journey House, we believe every person has infinite possibilities.

Every day, children, young people, adults, and families come through our doors ready to learn, grow, discover their strengths, and build a brighter future. Journey House walks alongside them with the education, encouragement, opportunities, and relationships that help turn possibility into progress.

Your gift to the Journey House Annual Appeal helps make that possible.

Your Support Makes a Difference

Your generosity helps Journey House provide high-quality, year-round programs in:

Youth Development & Education
Helping young people succeed academically, build confidence, discover their talents, and prepare for their futures.

Athletics & Leadership
Creating safe, positive spaces where young people develop teamwork, discipline, leadership, and healthy habits.

Workforce Readiness & Adult Education
Helping adults and young people strengthen their skills, advance their education, prepare for employment, and pursue economic opportunity.

Family & Neighborhood Engagement
Building stronger families, deeper connections, and a more vibrant community.

These opportunities come to life throughout the Journey House Campus, including the Journey House Center for Youth and Families, Journey House Packers Football Stadium, and Felix Mantilla Baseball Complex.

Changing the Game for Generations

For more than 57 years, Journey House has worked alongside families on Milwaukee's Near South Side to help people overcome barriers and create pathways to educational, economic, physical, and personal success.

We believe something powerful:

One person's success can change the history of a family for generations.

A young person who discovers confidence and purpose can change the trajectory of a family. An adult who earns a credential or secures a better job can open new possibilities for their children. A child who knows that someone believes in them begins to believe in themselves.

And when individuals and families thrive, our neighborhoods and our entire community become stronger.

Be a Game Changer

If your circumstances permit, please consider making a gift to Journey House today.

Every gift-at every level-helps create opportunities, strengthen families, and remind our young people that their dreams matter and their community believes in them.

Together, we can continue moving forward with hope, possibility, and joy.

Thank you for believing in Journey House and the children and families we serve.

One Dream. One Team. One Journey Forward.

Changing the Game for Generations.
