STORIES

HAVE POWER!

We strengthen voices around the world through arts education & exchange, community service, and innovative theatre.

Voices everywhere are suffocated by issues of poverty, racism, cultural isolation, lack of (arts) education, and other community specific factors. We aim to make a difference on a human to human level -- empowering voices and amplifying stories, so that they can be heard above the distortion.

These goals cannot be achieved alone. Find out how you can help.
