Join Forces

St. Rose & Lad Lake

July 7, 2010

St. Rose Youth & Family Center, Inc and Lad Lake, Inc have agreed to join forces in order to expand the continuum of care available to at-risk youth and families in Wisconsin. 

As two of Milwaukee's oldest and most esteemed child service agencies, Lad Lake and St. Rose have similar missions to serve the most at-risk youth in Wisconsin, and both organizations have grown and evolved along with the needs of children for more than 100 years.  By blending their operations, Lad Lake and St. Rose are taking the next step in their evolution to expand their services to meet the needs of today's youth.

The combined management team will be led by Lad Lake Executive Director, Gary Erdmann and will include current St. Rose Chief Operating Officer, Debbie Zwicky, among others.  This will provide continuity of services to the children in both agencies' care, as well as to purchasers and stakeholders of both organizations.  The St. Rose campus in Milwaukee will continue to provide its vital services to troubled girls, and Lad Lake will continue to operate its campuses in Milwaukee and Dousman, providing services to male and female youth and their families.
