Overview
Mission
See schedule othrough culturally sustaining education, healing centered engagement, and workforce development, voices provides the relationships, resources, and opportunities for youth to heal, grow, and further their path toward economic self sufficiency and civically engaged lives. Voices programs and services are grounded in our four pillars of wellness: healed, educated, creative, and disciplined.(1) healed: systemic oppression forces us to acknowledge that healing must be core for communities to transform and thrive.(2)educated: equitable educational opportunities are essential for economically stable and thriving communities.(3) creative: a collective and neutral platform for trauma and social justice issues to be explored without judgment is essential.(4) disciplined: communities need tools to create new personal habits and pathways for self sufficiency.
