About Us
It's been over 40 years since our agency began with just two staff and a strong commitment to “meeting the challenge of creative change”. Over the years, our budget, staff, and programs have grown significantly, and adapted to changing community needs. We have employed and trained hundreds of people, and provided education and resources to hundreds more.
What remains the same as it was in the beginning is New Concept's commitment. We continue to dedicate ourselves to making a real difference in the lives of thousands of Milwaukee's families and children.

Our Motto
Meeting the Challenge of Creative Change
|
New Concept has been a leader in many arenas, developing programs that others have later replicated:
We have done these things with the help of a dedicated work force, volunteers and a Board of Directors that has remained committed and required accountability. Our past history is valuable and includes many “lessons learned” We are known for our willingness to hire and train emerging leaders, case managers and social workers, for our professionalism, willingness to collaborate, and for successfully surviving many changes in the Milwaukee community and the social service arena. We started implementing a succession plan over seven years ago that prepared well trained managers and new leadership to take us forward beyond the founders. As we move beyond the first 40+ years, we are prepared to take on the challenge when the question is asked “when are ‘they’ going to do something about teen pregnancy, school drop out, violence among youth, juvenile delinquency?” New Concept is “meeting the challenge of creative change”, serving Milwaukee, developing well trained staff and making a difference in the lives of thousands of families and children. We are the “they.” — Vanessa Johnson, Executive Director (Retired) |
