About the Provider

Description: COA Youth & Family Centers was founded in 1906 as the Children’s Outing Association by a dynamic group of Jewish women who sought to provide families in poverty the means to achieve self-sufficiency and raise healthy, productive, successful children. Following the framework of Jane Addams’ Hull House in Chicago, these women established Milwaukee’s first Settlement House and through this holistic model of community service they provided an array of resources for families. Over the last century, COA has continued to evolve this continuum of services and today serves thousands of children and families through holistic and integrated early child, youth, and community development programs offered at its two community centers (Riverwest and Goldin), Camp Helen Brachman in central Wisconsin, and partnering Milwaukee Public Schools.
