Awaken Center

At the Center, our participants can speak with an advocate regarding resources in our community and utilize our facilities: from grabbing food and beverages that are readily available, visiting our coffee bar, to even simply relaxing on the couch. During specific time periods, our facility also offers a business center and a private shower available to anyone in need. Our heart is to meet our participants where they are at no matter the situation. If the need is beyond our scope, we assure a warm handoff to a community partner who is already engaged and active in that specific role.

Wisconsin Services

The foundation of our Life Skills Groups is relationship; true impact comes with building trust and rapport. Our Life Skills Groups are offered a couple times a week. Through these groups we address topics such as grounding techniques, art therapy, holistic yoga practice, and numerous other psycho-educational classes. Prior to group, we serve a homemade meal, usually provided by one of our volunteers from our meals team. This allows us to build community and provides an optimal setting for open conversations.

Jail Outreach

Our Outreach Coordinator serves as an advocate in the Brown County Jail to help connect our participants to needed resources, aid in developing a plan for re-entry upon release, providing possible transportation from the jail to a program, supplying an emergency pack full of hygiene products upon release, and–most importantly–the ability to establish community while incarcerated.
