Published 1:59 PM EST Dec 31, 2018 When community activist Andre Lee Ellis moved to a house on the corner of North 9th and West Ring streets in Milwaukee November 2011, the block was considered one of the city's most violent. Days after he and his wife moved in, a man was shot and killed just feet from their front door. Ellis, who had spent years working in theater, vowed to improve his neighborhood. That neighborhood is at the center of the 53206 ZIP code, one of the most troubled in the city. In 2014, Ellis started a youth mentoring program called “We Got This.” It focuses on boys from ages 12 to 17 and is centered around a community garden. On Saturdays in the summer, they spend four hours at the garden, cleaning up the neighborhood and meeting with mentors.
