Strengthening Relationships Across Cultural Differences in Kenosha and Racine
Welcome to the “Strengthening Relationships Across Cultural Differences in Kenosha and Racine Counties” project! We’re glad to have you with us!
Who We Are
We are community members in Kenosha and Racine counties who have come together in the Uniting to Prevent Targeted Violence in Southeast Wisconsin program to address risk factors for targeted violence. As Uniters, we’re committed to strengthening relationships across cultural differences in our community.
Project Goals
The goal of this project is to strengthen relationships across cultural differences in southeast Wisconsin, particularly focusing on the Kenosha and Racine communities. We aim to foster understanding, trust, and collaboration between diverse community members and leaders
Theory of Change
We believe that if we create spaces for key leaders to collaborate and commit to engaging the broader Kenosha and Racine community through meaningful events, then we will successfully strengthen relationships across cultural differences.
