give people the power of words — give their words to people in power

Lifting Voices is a nonprofit, grassroots organization which helps young people discover and share their voices in order to grow, find joy, and accomplish change. Lifting Voices conducts writing workshops, gathers oral history on contemporary social issues, and provides youth perspectives to policy makers and the community as a whole. Our vision is that the words of young people will heal, inspire, and instruct families, communities, and people in power.

With your support, we can continue our vital work raising voices, sharing the power of words, and enriching communities. It is only with your help that we are able to serve. Your contribution is absolutely crucial to our work. Please join us by making a donation.

Lifting Voices brings a wonderfully diverse and committed family to the spirit of service. We'd like to invite you to meet our team.
