The rally is organized by a group of teenagers on the Youth Leadership Circle. This is a group made up of teens from after-school programs, churches and youth groups all across the city...GET INVOLVED! ADD YOURSELF TO OUR MAILING LIST
The Summer of Peace Citywide Youth Rally is a youth-led initiative that has captured the interest, participation and support of hundreds of Milwaukee youth, adults and organizations. Now in its fifth year, this dynamic event challenges residents, businesses and politicians throughout Milwaukee to support new youth efforts to decrease violence in our city. The grass-roots gathering seeks to unite the community to promote non-violence and positive entertainment.
WHO WE ARE: an energetic and highly-motivated group that provides the new blood, creativity, and innovative approaches needed to effect positive community change. The YLC is guided by a Circle of Elders, a collective of esteemed community parents, activists, advocates, and everyday people committed to changing the culture of violence in our city from the inside out. The Circles are connected by Young Adult Leaders and Youth Development Professionals who provide a bridge between the generations.
