Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

Since opening our doors in 1934, Easterseals has been a vital partner to individuals and families throughout Milwaukee, Waukesha, Ozaukee, Washington, Racine, and Kenosha counties. Each year, we support more than 1,500 individuals and their families through direct care, education, early intervention, job coaching, day servies, recreation and more.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Easterseals Southeast Wisconsin empowers children, adults, and families to grow by opening doors to opportunities and enhancing their quality of life through comprehensive support services.

  • Integrated and Community Services, Supported Employment Securing and maintaining employment can be challenging for individuals with mental health conditions or those in recovery from addiction. Research shows that with the right support, individuals are more likely to keep their jobs, experience improved mental health, and stay engaged in their communities. At Easterseals Southeast Wisconsin, we recognize the importance of personalized employment support. By guiding individuals from application to hire and providing ongoing coaching, we help participants build confidence, independence, and valuable work skills while ensuring employers have motivated, well-prepared staff. Our approach benefits everyone-employees gain meaningful, stable work and personal growth, and employers gain dedicated team members who are set up for success. Through these services, we empower individuals to thrive in the workplace and beyond.

    Expenses $2,433,539 · Revenue $905,545

  • Adult Day Services Individuals with disabilities thrive when they have opportunities to connect, engage, and participate in meaningful experiences. Our Respite Enrichment programs create safe and supportive spaces where participants can build friendships, strengthen social skills, and explore new activities. From camp, recreation and community outings to structured daytime supports, these programs encourage independence, decision-making, and personal growth while ensuring that individuals feel included and valued. The benefits extend far beyond the individual. By supporting individuals in active, social settings, our programs help families and caregivers find peace of mind and essential respite. At the same time, the community gains from the presence of individuals who are engaged, empowered, and contributing to the world around them. In 2024, our Adult day program service 130 individuals, our Adult Recreation program served 145 individuals, and our camp program served 97 individuals.

    Expenses $1,531,902 · Revenue $1,738,154

  • Early Childhood Intervention Autism The earliest years of life are some of the most important for a childs long-term health, learning, and well-being. For expectant mothers and young families, having access to trusted guidance and resources can make all the difference. Families with strong support systems are more likely to thrive, children are healthier, parents feel more confidence in their role, and families as a whole are better equipped to handle challenges. Unfortunately, many parents face significant adversities such as poverty, abuse, or lack of resources during pregnancy and early childhood. Research shows that families who receive early support are more resilient, experience lower stress, and are better able to nurture safe, stable, and loving environments for their children. It is clear that families who receive early support are more likely to experience positive outcomes, children enter school ready to learn, parents are able to provide stable, nurturing environments, and risks of abuse or neglect are significantly reduced.
