Background:
|
The Milwaukee Public Schools Department of Recreation and Community Services (Milwaukee Recreation) was established in 1911 to enrich the lives of Milwaukee's youth, teens, adults and seniors through recreational and educational opportunities. Throughout the years, the department has worked to position itself as a leading provider of community recreation services. A team of 80 full-time staff, and nearly 2,000 part-time employees hired annually as instructors, leaders, field attendants, umpires and referees, work to program more than 100 schools and community locations on an annual basis. In 2017, the department began the ambitious process of preparing to achieve agency accreditation through the Commission for the Accreditation of Park and Recreation Agencies (CAPRA). CAPRA is the only national accreditation of park and recreation agencies and is a valuable measure of an agency’s overall quality of operation, management, and service to the community. The department's desire to stay relevant and sound in its delivery of services coupled with the CAPRA accreditation requirements has led to the development, and/or updating of, a series of strategic planning efforts. These include: *Recreation Master Plan *Strategic Plan *ADA Transition Plan *Leadership Continuity Plan Each of the aforementioned plans was developed in partnership with Recreation Department and district staff, community partners, content experts, residents via community engagement sessions, and feedback from a community-wide needs assessment survey. The strategies and initiatives identified in these plans provide a tangible implementation strategy to bring the vision of the department, to be the leading provider of quality and affordable recreation services in the Milwaukee community, to reality. |
