We amplify voices in our community through the arts.
We understand that art is where we can transcend boundaries of cultures, races, traditions, and social-economic differences. Through VOICES’ programs In School, In Community, and On Stage, participants are empowered to be their authentic selves, feeling heard, and feeling seen.
Upcoming Events
VOICES On Screen
August 23, 2026
2:00 PM
Crystal Theatre, Carbondale
Join us for a special screening celebrating newcomer students as the heroes of their own stories. Hero’s Journaling Project is a storytelling project in local schools, offering a glimpse into the youth’s experiences, perspectives, and journeys through their own voices.
The Carbondale Middle School project will be presented as a mini-documentary at the Crystal Theatre in Carbondale on August 23 at 2 P.M. We invite the entire community to come together, support these young storytellers, and experience the power of sharing your story. This event is free and open to the public.
We hope you’ll join us in celebrating the courage, creativity, and voices of our local youth.
Thank you to Alpine Bank for sponsoring this project!

VOICES is made possible by:
REAL STORIES, REAL PEOPLE, real impact.
At VOICES, storytelling is how we build community. Through our programs In School, In Community, and On Stage, we create space for people to be heard, honored, and remembered. We do this by providing a page, a canvas, a microphone, and a stage, to discover the layers of humanity within us and the community. Join us in bringing these stories to life.
