Shepherd Express and Express Yourself Milwaukee Announce Partner
Press Releases
The independent alternative weekly newspaper, Shepherd Express, has partnered with Express Yourself Milwaukee to help raise community awareness of at-risk youth in the greater Milwaukee area and its educational programs. Working together synergistically, two progressive-minded organizations can change the world.
Milwaukee, WI (PRWEB) February 18, 2008 -- Working together synergistically, two progressive-minded organizations can change the world. The Shepherd Express and Express Yourself Milwaukee have agreed to pair up and apply this theory to the community that both call home - the ever changing and growing city of Milwaukee, WI.
While the Shepherd Express has been a Milwaukee institution for over 25 years, Express Yourself Milwaukee is off to a great start, celebrating its fifth year of introducing art, theater, music and dance to youth in Milwaukee. Following the success of the original Express Yourself Inc. (Boston, MA) program model, the Milwaukee chapter of EYM, Inc. also empowers at-risk youth through focused engagement in the arts and music community.
 This
unique program will resonate deeply with our readers, and aligns

passionate about. |

The initial goal of the partnership is to help raise program awareness through sponsored events, projects, and close communication with Milwaukee Public School students and families. Support for these expenditures will be aided by the Shepherd Express' very own ExpressMilwaukee.com website, where Express Yourself Milwaukee will have its own section.
"Express Yourself Milwaukee celebrates the power of creative arts to
transform the lives of underserved youth in our city. We are excited by
our new partnership. Our hopes are that the individuals and the
business community will step forward and become part of our vision."
