Promoting Belonging in Waukesha County
Welcome to the “Promoting Belonging in Waukesha County” project! We’re glad to have you with us!
Who We Are
We are community members in Waukesha County 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 differences in our community and ensuring everyone belongs.
Project Goals
We work to strengthen community connection and increase hope in Waukesha County.
Theory of Change
If we strengthen the United for Waukesha Resiliency Center through educational events and outreach, then we will build community connection and increase belonging, thereby decreasing hopelessness as a risk factor for targeted violence.

Want to explore how to keep your community safe from targeted violence? Want to learn how to talk about difficult, hot-button issues with your friends, students, and neighbors? Do both at the interactive Carroll College session on targeted violence prevention.
