Youth & Young Adults Programs

ODB's participants are able to give back to their communities through volunteer community service. Over the years, we have supported: City on the Hill, Social Development Commission, Community Tabernacle Baptist Church, Share Organization, and Salvation Army with special projects. In addition to reaching out to other agencies, ODB has an annual event that requires assistance from our youth. In November, ODB host a Community Winter Bash.  The event provides free winter clothing to families in need.  This event consist of support from the board, our youth, and community.  Every year, ODB reaches out and provides free warm clothing to approximately 100 individuals.

Often time, students are entangled with peer pressure or negative environment.  These challenges  may result in unlawful activities and ODB is available to help youth clear their names.  ODB's Service Learning Program has been in partnerships with Justice 2000,  Impact 211, and Judge Mosley with the City of Milwaukee.  Our relationships with these individuals aim to assist youth and youth adults with Court-Order Community Service.  It has been a honor helping teens along with young adults gain court-ordered community services and become productive citizens again. ~Restoration~
