Mission Statement

Lad Lake has been evolving to meet the needs of Wisconsin’s most vulnerable children for nearly 170 years. Serving more than 1400 youth annually Lad Lake strives to meet the needs of today’s at-risk youth. 95% of the young people in our care come from a family in crisis. Many have been abused or severely neglected. Simply put Lad Lake is the emergency room of the child welfare system. Whether its support for foster kids, a safe haven for exploited and abused girls, remedial academic help, behavioral therapy for young people involved in the juvenile justice system or mentors for troubled youth Lad Lake provides proven programs that strengthen families and heal lives. Lad Lake’s mission is "Guiding the growth of at-risk youth to reach their potential and live responsibly."

Description

All Lad Lake program’s aim to achieve four major goals:

. To ensure that a youth is safe and their basic needs are met.

. To improve a young person’s ability to regulate and manage their emotions.

. Increase their knowledge and skills to be self-sustaining adults (education and employment).

. To improve the social support systems (family and community) surrounding a young person.
