The Kids' Future Is Now - Silver Spring Neighborhood Center

The Kids’ Future
Is Now
2008-2009 Annual Report

The Kids’
Future
Is Now
Silver Spring Neighborhood Center
(SSNC) has never been an agency to
rest on its laurels. SSNC’s
multifaceted program has worked for
more than 50 years. The kids know
that, and so does the staff. It
sometimes requires more strength,
more time, or more determination.
Our successes are terrific success
stories every day – Yes, THE KIDS’
FUTURE IS NOW.
THE KIDS: Many of the SSNC
loyal attendees are put under
unimaginable stress in their homes,
where as children, they often have
to assume parental responsibility
for younger siblings because mom is
working two jobs to support the
family.
FUTURE: It is not a rosy
idealization, like in pop culture.
Without the support of the programs
and staff at SSNC, it would be hard
for youths to imagine a better future.
But at SSNC, kids learn coping skills
to help create their own better futures,
with goals, with opportunities, and
with family support. And for the past
seven years, there have been no
felonies committed by any SSNC
members.
NOW: SSNC emphasizes the
importance of routine, of getting the
job done each day, of dedication and
determination. Today is the day to get
all your homework finished by dinner.
You can, if you try. Tomorrow, there
will be another challenge, and another
one the day after that.
While some high school graduates
headed to college or trade school this
fall, many with scholarships, a
disparity remains. Each successive year
reveals how far behind many African
American students are in Milwaukee,
where the achievement gap between
whites and blacks is one of the largest
in the entire nation.
With the help of family, staff,
and peers, SSNC members are
overwhelmingly set on the right
track to succeed in life, as they
begin to spend an increasing
amount of time at the Center.

Your Support Gives the Kids A Future NOW.
We have been at Silver Spring
Neighborhood Center for a
combined 31 years. Every day, we
can’t wait to get to the office...these
are two of the best jobs in the city!
While others will speak in this
report of the young people and their development, our message this
year is about the 18-30 year olds, who are mostly underemployed
or unemployed, lacking health insurance, and lacking much hope
for their future. They are not kids – this is real life and they are
struggling to keep their heads above water. Among black males, the
unemployment rate in our city is estimated at as high as 60%.
One day in August, a young man got out of his car and asked a staff
member about our GED program. He was so enthusiastic to hear
that he did not have to pay for it, that he could, at last, become
a high school graduate. The staff member encouraged him to go
inside and find out more. He could not – he had children in the
car, but he promised to come back. That little interchange made her
day – seeing the radiant hope on his face that here, at the Center,
was an answer to part of his personal struggle. Now, it was up to
him to come and learn. She knew that he would, and that the ripple
effect upon his family would go on for a long time, as they slowly
got to a point of self-sufficiency.
It’s all here. The KIDS’ FUTURE – and for those a bit older, is NOW!
Gratefully,

Board of Directors
It has been a privilege to work with the board
and staff of SSNC for the 7th consecutive
year. Sharing the 50 th Anniversary Year with
old and new friends of the Center; seeing our
Silver Spring Academy have a 7 th year in a row
not appearing on the state’s improvement list
for schools; watching so many of our Teen
Leadership Club complete their program and
head to college — these achievements make my
duties as president very rewarding.
As you read this annual report, please know that these accomplishments
would not have happened, quite literally none of it, without your support,
confidence, and faith in Silver Spring Neighborhood Center. We may
be celebrating our 50th anniversary, but our toddlers, kindergartners,
young people, and teens still struggle with the age-old issues of avoiding
the temptations of the street, discounting the not so subtle messages that
staying in school is not “cool,” and providing some measure of peace for
their families, 75% of whom live at or below the poverty level.
If you haven’t been to the Center for a while to see the progress the kids
have made, both individually and as a group, please call (414) 463-7950
and talk with Jim to schedule a tour. It will be my pleasure to join you
on that walk through 50,000 square feet of kids laughing, working, and
playing.

Staff Spotlight
Carla Jones has
volunteered at SSNC since
1966 and still does so today,
despite having a day job
as the office operations
specialist. When she began
to work as a volunteer,
she helped out in the food
pantry and clothes bank.
Now, she runs the Bingo on Monday nights and chaperones some
of the teen dances.
In her 41 years of involvement, Carla sees it this way: “Changes?
What hasn’t changed? The Center has expanded five times – to
accommodate the increased numbers of those in need. Now we
service the whole area, not just the neighborhood. And the GED
program has grown significantly.”
A little bashfully, Carla says, “This is the best Center of its kind I
know of in the U.S., serving people from infancy through their
senior years. I was told on my first day: “You make sure that anyone
who comes through that door has their service needs met.”
And so she has.
Louie Flowers has
worked for three years in our
Early Childhood Education
Center (ECEC), where
he teaches in the K3/K4
classroom. This makes him
a relative newcomer to the
SSNC staff. Returning to
nonprofit early childhood
education, Flowers was pleased to be in an environment where
there is an administration to plan and implement projects and field
trips. “In a for profit setting, none of this existed: teachers had to
supply their own materials in the classroom, and parents had to pay
extra for the field trips. Here, more programs take place to benefit
children who otherwise would have no opportunity to become
school-ready by age four.”
A former east sider, Flowers was surprised to learn that a Center
with so many resources existed in a public housing development.
From the beginning, he saw that he needed to make some changes
in language when speaking to children who come from single
parent homes, or who are raised by their grandparents. He had to
find a substitute for “Bring this home to Mom.”
Flowers finds that teaching and planning for children’s
individualized programs at ECEC helps enhance the skills he
learned in school. Not looking it at all, Flowers has now worked for
19 years in early childhood education. His love for his work shows
in his beaming smile.

Program Highlights
Food Bank — The number of people
served in the past year increased by 30%,
making last year a time when the largest
number of people ever were served with
three-day boxes of emergency food and other
necessities at the Food Bank. Special thanks
go to U.S. Bank, which held a very successful
spring food drive at several of its branches.
To help with the increased numbers to serve,
SSNC received a grant for additional food
distribution from the Milwaukee County
Emergency Food & Shelter Program.
Silver Spring Academy is a middle
school for at-risk youth that is housed
within SSNC. In the 2008-2009 academic
year, it graduated 22 eighth graders, all of
whom are now enrolled in high school. The
combination of small class size, structured
programs, excellent teacher instruction, and
attention to student needs truly pays off.
Early Childhood Education
Center —- Last year 136 students took
part in our Early Childhood Education
Center. Each child receives individualized
attention, with lessons planned by a team of
teachers and discussed with parents. Using
the Creative Curriculum, goals are reassessed
regularly to meet each child’s needs.
The Adult Education Program,
comprised of Basic Skills, English as a second
language, and GED instruction, served 200
students last year. Among the notable
successes: 17 GED graduates, of whom 6 are
enrolled in a post-secondary school; and many
others will continue in the program to
complete their goals. Our on-site free drop-in
child care makes the program extremely
accessible to students.
Youth Development Programs
Youth development programs provide social,
academic and recreational enrichment
activities in a safe and supportive environment
for youth and teens ages 6-19. The goal of the
program is to assist participants in developing
into self-sufficient, contributing members of
society. Membership in the youth programs
continues to increase, with more than 2,120
individuals participating in activities last year.
UWM Silver Spring Community
Nursing Center
Since 1986, the UWM Silver Spring
Community Nursing Center (SSCNC) has
operated at SSNC. The SSCNC has increased
access to care by providing 2,500 annual
visits to members of the community, who
are under- or uninsured. While most of the
patients receive care on site, some are referred
to other health and human service providers.

Our Mission
Since 1958, “Building a stronger, safer neighborhood and community.”
This child’s remarkable story and photo were highlighted in the 2009 United Way Campaign materials.
Omari, now four and in kindergarten,
had great difficulty responding to simple
questions and could not speak in more
than two – three word utterances when
he was 2 ½. Our Early Childhood
Education Center (ECEC) discovered
this problem and set up an assessment
which led to a diagnosis of significant
developmental, speech, and language
delays. After several courses of
treatment, including at SSNC and his
local school, where he gets speech and
language therapy, Omari now speaks
in full sentences. He can retell parts
of a story. His socialization in small
and large group settings during his
afternoons spent at the Early Childhood
Education Center is vastly improved.
Thanks to ECEC, a United Wayfunded
program, Omari is now at an
age appropriate learning level. Another
child has achieved early literacy, a child
who might have fallen through the
cracks without ECEC’s able staff and
significant resources from the United
Way of Greater Milwaukee.

Reflections on SSNC
Dear Friends of Silver Spring Neighborhood Center,
As someone who has worked closely for over 20 years with
students and staff at Silver Spring Neighborhood Center (SSNC),
(early on in the classroom, and later on as a donor, volunteer, and
member of the Board of Directors) I see the many ways SSNC has
responded to additional community challenges. Silver Spring has
done this while still maintaining the original goals of
promoting health, education and well-being for children,
youth and families. All this is done in the largest public housing
development in our state. This northwest community of
Milwaukee is known as Westlawn, and SSNC is located in the
center of it.
Not only has SSNC focused on the children and their futures,
SSNC also has expanded services to become more engaged and
supportive of the entire family unit. Families, working with Silver
Spring Neighborhood Center, learn the importance of parental
involvement in giving their children hope and opportunity in
jobs, schooling, and personal growth. With that knowledge, those
parents in turn become more involved in the community and in
investing themselves in their own growth and development.
SSNC now provides services to approximately 8,000 people a
year. That is a huge increase from the early years, when the
outreach only numbered in the hundreds. While we all wish
we lived in a perfect world, the staff and volunteers of SSNC
realize these times bring more complex challenges in health,
education, job training and socialization. But everyone at SSNC
is determined to meet these challenges through our Early
Childhood Education Center, UWM Community Nursing
Center; the United Way-sponsored Literacy First project; and by
our teen programs – LADY (Loving and Developing Yourselves)
and MALE (Maturing and Loving Everyone). These programs
have been successful for many years in keeping teens on a
healthy track in educational, social and sexual relationships.
Many students continue onto college and good success in the
workplace.
The gifts of your time and your contributions to the Center are
greatly appreciated and in fact, are vital to its success. Thank
you for all that you have done to help during the past years. I ask
that you continue your support for many more to come. You can
be very proud of what your contributions have done to help
young people on a path to greater education, better jobs, and
better family lives. Because of what you have done, our
participants have the opportunity to be engaged in our great city
of Milwaukee, and to share and teach many others.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Elaine Schreiber
Long-time volunteer and current board member
PS: If you have any further questions
or comments, please call me at
414-482-3473. I’d love to tell you
personally of the many successes that
your gifts have made possible.
PPS: Marty also sends his thanks.

Special Activities
The 2009 Playground Poster & Essay Contest
The theme for this year was “Staying Active, Staying Safe,”
and was sponsored locally by the City of Milwaukee Housing
Authority, with SSNC representing the Westlawn Housing
Development. Five of our members were the top local winners:
Cavion Crawford, Takiyah Thomas, Leon White, Latisha
Hawthorne, and Carolyn Turner. Turner went on to place
second on the national level.
As Takiyah said, writing for the age 9 – 11 category: “To play
safe you have to play in a safe environment. You could help
make a place a safe environment by playing safe, picking up
all the garbage, make sure you use gloves. When I go to a
playground, I would expect it to be non-harmful and clean so
that I can have a good time.”
A new SSNC Alumni AssociaTION kicked off in
winter 2009. Several hundred alums have been identified and
are now on our mailing list for newsletters which update them
on SSNC programs and activities they may wish to have their
children participate in. If you are an alumnus and we don’t
have your contact information, please call (414) 463-7950,
x86. We want to hear from you!
SSNC’s Amateur Athletic Union (AAU)
program was sponsored by the shoe manufacturer Pony,
which selected our Spartan basketball teams as its only
sponsorship in the State of Wisconsin. During the 2009
AAU season, the Spartans fielded teams for youth in grades 3
through 12. Thanks to Pony, the Center was able to procure
shoes and jerseys at a greatly reduced price.
90 boys participated in basketball during the AAU/travel season.
During these trips, the 5 th grade Spartans were tournament
champions at the Rockford National Tournament. The 6 th
grade team won the NY2LA Invitational, the AAU State
Championship, and the St. Louis Elite tournament.
Runner-up victories were:
4th, 5th, 6th & 10th grades
New York to L.A. Invitational
11th/12th grades
New York to L.A. Summer Jam
Our Spartans Track team had numerous high
placements in statewide events held in the
winter and summer seasons. The individuals
who captured a first place were: Bianca Davis
(2 first places) Joshua Dixon (2 nd place in
Nationals, as well), Washington Farrington,
Jalen Gillie, Kayla Jones, Kennaye Lewis
(2 first places), Gavin Robertson, Josh
Schneider, and Matthew Wildule (3 first
places). Coach Conner beams when he speaks
about his teams. “We do extremely well, but
nationally, it’s hard to compete against the
teams from states where
they can train outdoors all
year long.”
Last spring, 23 players on
the track and basketball
teams were winners of
college scholarships.
Go Spartans!

Without Their Help…
None of It Would Be Possible
SSNC has fostered good working relationships with a number
of agencies and funders — with city, county, state, and federal
government offices, the United Way of Greater Milwaukee,
Brighter Futures, Safe & Sound, and United Neighborhood
Centers of Milwaukee (UNCOM). These relationships provide
sharing of best practices in their area of expertise. SSNC has
dozens of collaborative partners, some for programming, others
for funding, and a few for both.
As part of the continued generous funding received from
United Way for three of our core areas — early childhood
education, youth development, and the food bank — SSNC
has received an “Outstanding” Outcomes rating from the
United Way for these programs during each of the past
three years. In addition, Literacy First and the Healthy Girls
Initiative are two active United Way special grant programs at
the Center. Literacy First partners with Browning School, and
the Healthy Girls Initiative is part of our youth development
programming, with a focus on teen pregnancy prevention.
Through these and other efforts, only two youth participants
have become pregnant during the past eight years.
