Five Star MKE

Building a Legacy of Empowerment and Community Impact At Five Star MKE, our story began with one simple but powerful goal — to create a space where people could grow, learn, and thrive, no matter their circumstances. What started as a vision has become a movement that uplifts families, strengthens communities, and opens doors to opportunity across Milwaukee. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, we are rooted in service, empowerment, and love for our community. Every program, every class, and every partnership we build comes from a deep belief that everyone deserves a fair chance to succeed. Through our Five Star Educational Training Center, we equip individuals with the tools to build strong careers through certifications in CPR, CBRF, CNA, and childcare. Our Community Resource Center provides adult day services, caregiver support, and respite care, giving families relief and peace of mind. And our Business Center offers coworking spaces, mentorship, and business development opportunities that help local entrepreneurs bring their dreams to life. Since 2011, Five Star MKE has grown from one idea into a community cornerstone—serving women, families, and underserved neighborhoods with programs that remove barriers and expand possibilities. Whether it’s offering scholarships, workforce development, or community partnerships, we’re committed to making success accessible for all. At the heart of it all, our mission remains the same: to empower through education, opportunity, and care. Five Star MKE stands as a beacon of hope and progress, continuing to build a legacy of empowerment—one family, one student, and one dream at a time.
