ABOUT THE BAY VIEW COMMUNITY CENTER

The Bay View Community Center is a non-for-profit organization that serves individuals and families in southeastern Wisconsin. The Bay View Community Center provides a variety of fun and exciting programs. These include classes for children, activities for seniors, family events, and health enrichment programs for adults. Special programs, like the Emergency Food Pantry, give a helping hand to those who could occasionally use it. As a non-profit organization, the Center’s success is truly a community effort. Volunteers, donors, and caring individuals are at the heart of the Center's services.  The Center started in a single-storefront, Depression-era building on Milwaukee’s Kinnickinnic Avenue. Since then the Center has moved to a more suitable location, but from those early days of leaky pipes and faulty electricity the Center has grown into a busy place that strives every day to make our community a better place.

From its earliest days the Bay View Community Center has fostered a belief in quality. The Center maintains criteria that ensure programs are worthwhile and valuable to program participants. Staff and volunteers aim to consistently provide programs that exceed expectations. The tremendous increase in program attendance throughout the years is the result of quality programming that consistently meets the needs of people in our community.

When an assessment of community needs revealed that our staff alone could not sufficiently meet those needs, we decided to build a volunteer force that would function in many ways like a paid staff. Today, the Bay View Community Center is proud of its volunteer corps. These hard-working individuals are nurtured and supported like paid staff. They have job descriptions and decision-making authority, are encouraged to think creatively and innovatively, and receive recognition for their service. Many of our programs are suggested, developed, and even run by volunteers. Because of our volunteers, the Bay View Community Center is an organization capable of providing the kinds of programming that meets the needs of the community.
