Quest Project
The Quest Project is designed to educate and motivate Milwaukee-area middle and high school students and their parents to prepare for and attend college. Quest Project helps students explore careers, prepare for college, develop leadership skills, and connect classroom learning to future success.
During the academic year, the program offers workshops, educational field trips and hands-on learning opportunities. Quest Project will meet on Saturdays in various classrooms and spaces on UWM’s campus. Middle School activities will aim to provide a lecture, discussion and lab experience relating academics to careers and majors. High School activities will aim to introduce college by visiting campuses, attending workshops and participating in experiences related to campus life.
There are no fees for participation in the Quest Project.
