Owen's Place is a free community resource center on Fond du Lac Avenue dedicated to empowering young people ages 16-24 through self-discovery and support on their path to independence.
This youth-centered organization partners with Milwaukee County BHS and St. Charles Youth & Family Services to provide comprehensive resources and mentorship. Their mission focuses on developing leadership, confidence, and essential life skills that help young adults transition into adulthood. The welcoming environment emphasizes youth voices and lived experiences, creating a space where teens and young adults feel heard and supported.
Owen's Place offers several impactful programs, including the Supported Employment & Education Program (SEEd), which helps participants gain the skills needed to succeed in school or competitive employment. Staff resource specialists work alongside each young person to build their individual strengths and navigate challenges. With locations on both Fond du Lac Avenue and National Avenue, Owen's Place serves the broader Milwaukee community as an accessible, zero-cost resource for youth seeking guidance and encouragement.
