Mission

To provide children, youth and families with quality, comprehensive services to nurture healthy family life and enhance community stability.

Vision

Where stable communities and healthy families have the resources and opportunities to maximize personal development and self-sufficiency.

History

La Causa, Inc. was incorporated in 1972. The agency started when a group of Hispanic mothers wanted quality child care for their children. In the beginning, the agency served nineteen children. Today, La Causa serves more than 13,000 individuals annually through a comprehensive network of programs.

La Causa is one of the largest bilingual, multicultural agencies in Milwaukee. We are committed to providing children, youth and families with quality services to nurture healthy family life and enhance community stability. Our staff members provide a broad range of family-centered services: from early education and care to elementary and middle school education in a Charter School setting; from foster care recruitment to mental health treatment services to parenting classes and support groups; and from ensuring children’s most basic needs are met to providing shelter and resources for families in crisis.

With each passing year, La Causa strives to provide innovative solutions to the growing needs for childcare and family services in urban Milwaukee.  Programs are funded through service fees, government contracts/grants and philanthropic support.

We invite and encourage you to partner with us in making a positive impact on the lives of those in need.  Visit the How You Can Help page to learn about ways to contribute time, goods and financial support.
