YOUTH INTERSHIP

Art.

We give interns an opportunity to learn through various art outlets such as screen printing, mural instillation, photography, video production, and music.

Professional Skills.

We teach youth hard and soft professional skills. That they may develop tangible and intangible skills that set them up for successful future endeavors.

Self-empowerment.

We promote the empowerment of one’s self. We remind youth that we have control over our thoughts, actions, and the ability to attain goals

Leadership.

We believe that through self-empowerment we are better equipped to guide others and initiatives. This primes us to come together to strengthen, unify, and cultivate change.

Milwaukee OATS Impact

“Even though the word [OATS] stands for “only a t-shirt” it has a great meaning to it… its mission is to end segregation that exists in Milwaukee and create an environment where everybody is united.”

— Marquette University Student

“This internship has been a great opportunity… I’ve been able to start a brand which was always a dream of mine; all while learning business skills, marketing, promotion, sales, business relations, and much more.”

— College Athlete at UW-Milwaukee

Teens Against Trafficking.

An Intern at Milwaukee OATS Screen-Printing creates a movement using a t-shirt to bring awareness to Human Sex Trafficking.

Youth Employment during a Pandemic.

Milwaukee OATS was able to build capacity and hire additional staff via its partnership with Employ Milwaukee. Running a small business is a challenge and Covid-19, made it even tougher. One thing that kept us afloat was printing masks. It's vital that people are staying safe!
