Our services grow with the needs of the communities we serve. Once a need is determined we will find a way to address the issue in our own unique way.
The Nurturing Dreams Program is a sponsorship initiative to support underprivileged youth and empower them to thrive. By becoming a sponsor, you have the chance to provide children with the essential resources they need to grow up healthy, educated, and safe.
Your sponsorship will directly contribute to vital necessities such as school supplies, clothing, assistance with rent or utilities, interview clothing, or special item required for a job and much more. These seemingly small gestures can tremendously impact the lives of these children, their families, and the communities they belong to.
Through your generous support, we can create a brighter future for these young individuals, offering them opportunities they might not have otherwise. By nurturing their dreams, we can help them break the cycle of poverty and build a prosperous and sustainable future for themselves and their communities.
In our fast-paced world, it's easy to get caught up in our own lives and overlook the well-being of those around us. However, sometimes our loved ones may go through difficult times and not reach out for help. This is where wellness checks, also known as welfare checks, play a crucial role.
What are Wellness Checks?
A wellness check is an in-person visit conducted by authorities or concerned individuals in response to a request from a friend or family member worried about someone's well-being. It involves checking the person's physical and mental health, ensuring safety, and providing necessary assistance.
When Should You Request a Wellness Check?
There are various situations where a wellness check may be necessary which include a lack of communication, concerns about physical or mental health, or exhibiting unusual behavior.
If you find yourself in a situation where you believe a wellness check is needed, taking immediate action is essential. Wellness checks are a formality and a critical means of supporting those in need. By recognizing the signs that someone may be struggling and taking action, we can potentially save lives and make a positive difference in the world.
Let's come together and prioritize the well-being of our loved ones by embracing the importance of wellness checks. If you need us to check on someone please click the link below.
We believe that it is important to address the immediate needs of those who are struggling.
That's why we have organized distributions that provide essential items such as groceries, hygiene products, baby items, pet supplies, clothing and shoes, blankets, and more. By providing these necessities for survival, we aim to reduce the likelihood of child abuse, assault, home invasions, and theft, ultimately working towards breaking the prison pipeline.
We believe that by coming together as a community, we can make a significant impact on the lives of those who need it most. We invite you to join us in spreading hope, generosity, and grace during troubled times.

This program is specifically designed to reduce the involvement of the Department of Children and Family Services and Law Enforcement, while simultaneously addressing the negative perception these agencies may have within our community. Our ultimate goal is to help keep families together and foster a stronger, more supportive environment for everyone involved.
Voices Cares aims to provide immediate assistance to families in need by offering essential items such as food, clothing, hygiene products, and, when available, even furniture on an emergency basis. By ensuring these necessities are met, we hope to alleviate some of the stress and challenges families face during difficult times.
We believe in bringing freedom and healing to victims of human trafficking and sexual exploitation. It is heartbreaking that many individuals, often young and vulnerable, are subjected to unimaginable horrors. However, we can make a difference and help end this injustice together.
At Voices of Our Youth, we work tirelessly to assist in rescuing victims, ensuring that they are delivered to safety. We understand the urgency of this issue and collaborate with partner agencies that provide the necessary care and support to begin the healing process. Our ultimate goal is to empower survivors and help them rebuild their lives with dignity and hope.
At Voices of Our Youth, we firmly believe in giving our youth a voice and empowering them to make a lasting impact in their communities. We are passionate about educating young individuals on how to create positive change and encouraging them to give back through service. By connecting them with dignitaries and decision-makers, we aim to provide a platform for them to share their ideas, opinions, and aspirations, ultimately leading to transformative changes that will improve lives.
Through our comprehensive programs and initiatives, we strive to equip young people with the necessary skills, knowledge, and resources to become influential change-makers. From leadership development and community service projects to mentorship and artistic expression, we offer a wide range of opportunities for youth to explore their passions, develop their talents, and contribute meaningfully to society.
The Love on a Leash program aims to heal the broken hearts of youth who have experienced abuse, mistreatment, bullying, and other forms of trauma. We believe that to change their perspective and help them rebuild their trust, we must first gain their trust.
Love on a Leash achieves this by utilizing the power of animals. Animals have an incredible ability to give unconditional love, and this love becomes the catalyst for the healing process. By caring for these animals, our youth learn to trust again. They also develop the skill of understanding and meeting the needs of these animals, which in turn helps them learn to read people.
Through this transformative process, our youth regain their power and feel whole again. Love on a Leash has been incredibly successful in helping young individuals who have suffered from abuse and trauma. However, we also recognize that many other individuals can benefit from the healing power of animals.
We are expanding our program to include special needs individuals and veterans with PTSD who need companion animals. We hope to provide animals with the love, support, and companionship they need to navigate their daily challenges by placing animals with these individuals.
At Voices of Our Youth, we strongly believe in positive youth development and helping young individuals navigate the challenges they face as they transition into adulthood. Our mission is to empower them to achieve their full potential and meet the challenges of adolescence head-on.
We understand that creating healthy and supportive relationships is crucial to their success. By teaching youth how to develop emotional bonds with the adults around them, we help them build a positive network of supportive relationships. These connections play a vital role in strengthening their sense of identity, developing confidence about the future, and improving their social, emotional, cognitive, and behavioral competencies.
Our approach involves providing youth with the encouragement and advice they need to achieve their goals. We believe in empowering them to engage with their families, communities, neighborhoods, and even governments, so they can actively participate in shaping their own future.
This pilot program aims to provide crucial assistance to unhoused families and individuals with health risks, helping them find the necessary services to secure and maintain permanent housing. At Voices of Our Youth, we firmly believe in the power of community and the positive impact we can make when we come together.

Volunteering is the core of being a human. Those who are happiest are those who do the most for others. No one has made it through life without someone else’s help. Volunteering takes a voice and puts it into action. Our actions help shape and mold not only who we are as individuals but as a community. Most volunteers don’t have the time, they have the heart!
