The MKE Fellows initiative was created in 2012 encouraging talented, young students from Milwaukee to pursue and complete their college education and serving as a vehicle to attract African American college graduates to return to the Greater Milwaukee area.
MKE Fellows envisions a healthier and more economically prosperous community that is better positioned to support the fiscal growth of Wisconsin. The primary goal of MKE Fellows is the creation of a strong pipeline of young, African-American male college graduates ready to return to Wisconsin to excel in their careers, build wealth, and become engaged leaders. MKE Fellows seeks to develop groups of young men who are not only well-educated, but who provide servant leadership that will be emulated by others.
