Join us in welcoming our new Executive Director, Yaa Engel! 👏

“I’m excited to lead PEAK and grateful for the welcome I’ve received. From Lake Valley Camp to our year-round work in Milwaukee, this community has created experiences and relationships that stay with young people. Carrying that work forward, bringing Navigators to PEAK, and welcoming more of Milwaukee into this community is a dream come true. Milwaukee’s young people deserve to know they matter for who they are today, not just who they might become. I want PEAK to continue helping them discover what matters to them and what they’re capable of, with their voices shaping what we do.” 🌎🫂♥️
