F U ND RAISING/EV ENT S
Through home- and center-based early childhood education programs, Next Door strives to create a long-term foundation for success by helping children living in poverty prepare for success in school.
In 2019 Next Door will celebrate 50 years of serving the Milwaukee community. As a part of this celebration, Next Door will launch a fundraising campaign for early childhood education and renovations of our 29th Street campus, partner with 50 organizations within the community, implement a literacy campaign within our service area, and host five events: • Annual President’s Luncheon (January 2019) • Community-wide Read with Me (April 2019) • 30th Annual Walk for Children (May 2019) • Early Childhood Education Expert Forum (Summer 2019) • Gala Celebration (Fall 2019)
The Next Door experience is especially important because the first five years of life are so critical to a child’s brain development. Next Door’s programming is focused on high quality teaching practices, extensive community partnerships, professional development of our staff, intensive family engagement, and utilization of data to inform our approach. Our dedicated team provides critical support to develop the academic and socialemotional skills of each child, support for children with special needs, community resources to help families succeed, and prenatal services/coaching for expectant mothers.
