Accelerating change through the spirit of community
“There is a yearning in the heart for peace” (M. Scott Peck)
CASE STUDY: Wisconsin Community Services (WCS)
COMMUNITY BUILDING is changing lives in Milwaukee!
Over 10 years ago, the leaders of Wisconsin Community Services were desperate to see reform and life change among those in human services and the criminal justice system. They invited CBI in to facilitate community building workshops (CBW) and skills trainings (CBST). The results were astounding!
Now in its 12th year, the cutting-edge Community Building Milwaukee program has been a model for the nation. CBI has trained over 100 community building facilitators, who are working to improve outcomes in social and criminal justice programs throughout the city! Peace and community is coming to Milwaukee!
