METROKIDS ZONEBeing a part of the Common Ground ministry team has allowed me to channel my passion for social justice and my DNA group has not only allowed me to grow in my faith and understanding of the word, but has also provided a wonderful opportunity for fellowship.

LOVE IN ACTIONCommon Ground
Common Ground is a new broad-based organization in Southeast Wisconsin. Our leaders and members come from diverse racial, ethnic, religious, cultural and political backgrounds. What they share in common is the desire to achieve positive changes in our community.
Common Ground exists to build and support an organization to address Greater Milwaukee’s critical social issues in an effective, non-partisan way. We spent our first year listening to over 1,400 people discuss their concerns including health care, education, jobs and economic development, crime, mental health, youth activities, immigration and housing. We have prioritized these areas of concern for research which is now underway. We’ve also been conducting Leadership Institutes to teach volunteers the basics of organizing.
As a Common Ground member, Metrobrook has a core team that meets monthly to help us stay closely involved in current projects. For more information, contact Lisa Stanek.
