Repairing Together started in 2016 to connect students from different cultural backgrounds in K-8 schools in the Milwaukee area through social, cultural and environmental programming. We partner with local schools to share and celebrate the cultural, racial and social diversity in our communities and to take action together for a better world.

Special Program-Unity Fires
The Milwaukee Native American community responded to the COVID-19 pandemic by creating a series of peaceful prayer and meditation vigils; and they asked us to collaborate. The Unity Fires followed and celebrated Native American traditions including tobacco and water ceremonies that were held daily, and several traditional pipe ceremonies with distinguished pipe carriers.
