HEALING OUR COMMUNITY TOGETHER
What is Voces Unidas?
Voces Unidas is a community of families (from grandparents to their grandchildren) who are healing their community. They understand that healing starts with themselves and will spread into their families and their neighborhoods.
Voces Unidas advocates for the needs of their community through personal growth, advocating for change in the education system, and preventing juvenile crime.
Our Vision
We elevate the voices of the community to identify, advocate, and implement positive change. We listen to each others’ voices and believe that together, we can make a change.
