Ellie's Updates Ellie Hartman, Project Manager

Wisconsin Promise Family Advocates have been reaching out and knocking on doors of the Promise youth and families we had lost contact with (many of these youth and families are located in the urban areas of Milwaukee, Racine, Kenosha, Madison, Janesville, and Beloit). Family Advocates   https://promisewi.com/family-advocates/ are finding and meeting with these youth and families and helping to reconnect them to their Promise DVR Counselor, so they can again receive the services and supports to help them meet their education and employment goals. Also, Promise DVR Consumer Case Coordinators  https://promisewi.com/dvr-promise-team/  have started mailing out postcards once a month to youth and families we had lost touch with. Within days of the first mailing we were able to reconnect with four of the Promise youth and families we had lost touch with. The impact of Wisconsin Promise depends on making a difference in the lives of all Wisconsin Promise youth and families. The more impact we can have with more youth and their family members, the more we will be able to demonstrate how Wisconsin Promise Services and Supports can help to increase participants' education, employment, and financial self-sufficiency.
