Community Partners
Community Partners are the heart of the Institute, serving as the essential bridge between the ISCP and meaningful, community-engaged work. Our relationship is deeply reciprocal: partners attend the ISCP events and host student work placements, offering hands-on opportunities to create change in Milwaukee. In turn, the ISCP builds student skills and capacity in peacebuilding, support their individual interests and studies while contributing to the goals of our partner organizations.
Institute Partners
Our partners represent organizations and agencies spanning the diverse sectors of practice, issues, and engagement relevant to Milwaukee and globally.

Community Partner Testimonials
“We have had the wonderful privilege and experience of
working with six different ISCP fellows from 2019 till date. The
fellows express cultural humility, the grace to meet people
where they are, and they embrace and celebrate diversity.
Their engagements have birthed programs which are
mutually beneficial, innovative, need-based, and sustainable.“
-Claire Reuning, Catholic Charities
“The MKE Black Grassroots Network of Health Equity is proud to partner with UW-Milwaukee to train the next generation of change leaders.”
-Quinton Cotton, Milwaukee Black Grassroots Network for Health Equity
“There is something truly unique and powerful about the way the students are prepared by ISCP and UWM to invest their time and talents into strengthening our community. Over time and through their active participation, they have each become beloved members of the community who have earned the trust and respect of residents and other neighborhood stakeholders.”
-Paul Williams, Housing Authority of the City of Milwaukee
