We Got This Community Garden

The program is growing and more community members are learning the powerful message of self reliance. Through efforts throughout the community, we can heal some of the negative stereotypes that have been portrayed. “We Got This” started in the neighborhood and grew and each person who entered in the program understands they can do the same.

“We Got This” is a program based out of Milwaukee, WI. Started on 9th and Ring, this program began with a crew of young boys cleaning up their neighborhood and learning about gardening. The program grew each Saturday as boys came out to assist in duties and were each subsequently paid 20 dollars for their efforts. The program has continued to grow and each week during the summer young boys continue to make their way to 9th and Ring for cleanup and gardening. Upon arrival, the boys are met by positive role models from the community to assist with their efforts. “We Got This” is making efforts to put the “neighbor” back in the “hood” recreating neighborhoods.
