One of our programs is the VOYCE Summer Leadership and organizing training program for youth (ages 14-24) to explore own skill set and research a topic of their interest, we provide all our youth a path to stay engaged beyond this program, with us or partner organizations, through paid and unpaid opportunities around social justice. Our summer program is specifically co-facilitated and co-led by Project VOYCE youth facilitators and adult staff. In all of our programming and organizing efforts, we create spaces with youth that promote critical thought learning and explorations of power, and social justice. We provide the language, knowledge and tools to ensure that the emerging majority are not afraid to confront, to listen, to see the world unveiled and reimagine new possibilities for the future. We have confidence our youth’s ability to think, to want, and to know and we help them build confidence and trust in themselves.
