Courage Plus

A Milwaukee nonprofit planted flowers in sidewalk cracks across southeast Wisconsin to symbolize resilience and highlight the struggles of homeless LGBTQ youth. FULL STORY⬇️

Courage+ is honored to be powering the 2026 Milwaukee Pridefest Youth Area.

Come join us on Friday and Saturday for family friendly fun, including a dance party with prizes, temporary hair design and wearable craft stations, the return of the fourth annual Youth Area Kiki and Ball, and so much more!

Thank you to Milwaukee Pride for bringing the community together. We're so grateful to join and share a message we've always known: Pride is a celebration for ALL members of the community.

Let's get this party started!

Have you seen these mystery flowers popping up all over Wisconsin?

This morning at 77 local businesses across the state, tiny flowers popped up in sidewalk cracks, like magic overnight.
 
Much like these flowers, 1.7 million LGBTQ+ kids are without homes. On the street, all alone, these kids fight against all odds. The flowers scattered across Wisconsin today call attention to the urgent need to create safe spaces for q***r youth.
 
This is Courage to Grow. Learn about how you can help, donate, or find a flower near you at the link in our bio.
