Help us Empower the Future of Central Wisconsin this GivingTuesday

Every year, on GivingTuesday, people come together to celebrate generosity and its power to transform communities. At WIPPS, we’re inspired by the potential of young people to shape the future.

That’s why we focus on programs like the Central Wisconsin High School Leadership Program, LENA Start Marathon County, and the Washington Seminar—all designed to build leadership, civic engagement, and connections among youth in Wisconsin.

Today, we’re asking for your support of the Central Wisconsin High School Leadership Program.

This program brings together students from seven local high schools, guiding them through transformative leadership experiences. From confidence-building retreats to hands-on community projects, students discover they can achieve their career and leadership goals right here in Central Wisconsin.

“We all noticed how much we grew as people and how close we had become as a group. I can’t even describe how awesome that is.” – Sydney, Program Participant

Your contribution directly supports initiatives that empower young leaders to:

• Build leadership skills and confidence through project-based learning.
• Forge meaningful connections with community and business leaders.
• Realize they can pursue their career and leadership dreams right here in Central Wisconsin.

This program wouldn’t be possible without the collaboration of local schools, civic organizations, and businesses. Together, we’re building a future where young people are inspired to lead, give back, and shape the Central Wisconsin of tomorrow.

As we reflect on what we’re thankful for this season, we’re especially grateful for the incredible network of support that makes this program possible. From schools to businesses to individuals—your support empowers these students to thrive and helps shape the future of our region.

We hope you can join us next week, December 3, for Giving Tuesday! Whether you can make a donation, volunteer, or simply help spread the word, your support makes a difference. It’s a day to celebrate generosity and empower communities—big and small. Let’s come together to make a positive impact!
