GRiD MKE Launch Party

As a current or former foster youth, trying to navigate the world as you prepare to live on your own can be stressful and frightening. Do you know what resources are available to you and how can you access them? GRiD MKE is the solution. Our app will help guide you with your needs for community, education, health, housing, and income in Milwaukee County and Greater Milwaukee Area.

GRiD MKE

When youth age out of foster care, it’s far too easy for them to fall off the grid and not have access to services to help them successfully enter into adulthood. But now, there’s an app for that.
We’re pleased to announce GRiD MKE, a phone app made possible by the Tellier Foundation and our community partners. Please join us for the official unveiling and meet the partners dedicated to GRiD MKE’s success.
