About Northcott Neighborhood House

Northcott Neighborhood House is a multipurpose community center created by the United Methodist Church in 1961.

We provide education, employment opportunities and basic necessities to youth, families and senior citizens in the Milwaukee area.

Our goal is to lift the spirit of the whole community through our mission:

To empower families to meet their survival needs and provide good parenting to their children
To provide a safe place for youth as well as recreational and skill-building activities—after school, on Saturdays, and in the summer
To provide the neighborhood with space, activities, and the opportunity to engage in community building and crime prevention.

Our success stories are:

Created employment for individuals reentering the workforce transitioning from prison.

Strengthened families through services offered at the community center.

These accomplishments and partnerships will continue as redevelopment of our community evolves strengthening our neighborhoods block by block.
