Teen Challenge exists because of the generosity and help of many donors and volunteers. We sincerely appreciate the many volunteers that help us each and every year! May the Lord bless their efforts as we together labor in His harvest!

Rev. Craig Harper, Executive Director

He has done graduate work at Cardinal Stritch University and Marquette Graduate School of Business. In 2007, Craig was awarded a scholarship to attend classes in the Executive Education Program at Harvard Business School.

Mrs. Judy Dooley, Associate Director of Programs and Services

Judy Dooley came to work for Teen Challenge in 2001. Previously she worked at her husband’s law firm in Bismarck, North Dakota.

In 1973, Judy entered the Gwen Wilkerson Home for Women in Northern California. She was referred to Teen Challenge by the shelter she was staying at. After spending many years involved in drugs and alcohol she found help at Teen Challenge. Earlier this year her husband retired and they moved to Milwaukee so she could work for the center here.

The majority of her experience in the last twenty-five years has been in the different aspects of running a law firm. Judy plans to start certificate level program training in Non-Profit Management at UWM in the Fall.
