A Walk in Their Shoes would not be possible without the
gracious support of local businesses and foundations. Below
is a list of organizations and individuals who make A Walk
in Their Shoes possible.

Mission Statement

A Walk in Their Shoes is a collaborative effort by north
central Wisconsin educators who hope to put a very
personal face on the current events that fill the airwaves,
print media, and the Internet. By providing access to
powerful speakers who have first-hand experience with
contemporary history we hope to provide middle school
students across central Wisconsin with:
  • Lessons that impact students’ lives, helping them  see
the world with different eyes.
  • The opportunity to look at life from a global         
perspective.
  • The chance to see that one person can truly make a
difference.
