Join Us For the Adventure of a Lifetime!
An Eight-Year Journey
Project Kindred is an eight-year experiential leadership program that develops diverse communities of empowered young leaders in communities divided by segregation.
Our goal is to equip young people with the skills, values, and relationships needed to build a more diverse, equitable, and loving Milwaukee.
The program kicks off in 5th grade, where participants will form a team with diverse peers and role models that they will work with throughout their journey, forming incredibly deep bonds that will last a lifetime!
Current 5th & 6th graders

Explorers
Explorers participate in a full year of Kindred programs! They engage in community building and explore their identity among their peers throughout the school year and summer. They will learn what it means to be a friend and how each person plays a part in the bigger team they create. This all comes together in the summer as they explore the campsite and take a crack at outdoor camping!

This unique leadership role allows participants to pay it forward by helping build an inclusive and equitable Kindred community for younger participants. Leaders will earn a stipend for their work.
