Race Bridge - Culture, Creativity & Connection

Being connected to your community means everything. It’s the difference between just living in a place and feeling like you’re really at home.

FUEL helps Milwaukee professionals connect with community though exposure to the region’s great people, iconic brands, accessible leadership, and vibrant social scene. Our goal is for you to become part of Milwaukee’s fabric, grow your local circle of influence, and make your mark in our city.

Whether you’re new to the city, or have been here all your life – you’re welcome in Milwaukee. Join FUEL and make yourself at home.

Race Bridge offers monthly, 60-minute conversations intended to help Milwaukeeans better understand the nuances of race and racism - while feeling empowered to speak openly them. The goal is also to equip program participants with the language and tools to identify racial inequity and challenge it in a productive way.
