WELCOME
Voices UnBroken is a non-profit organization housed in the Bronx dedicated to providing the under-heard members of the community, primarily youth ages 14-21, with the tools and opportunity for creative self-expression. Through writing-based creative arts workshops in group homes, residential treatment centers, jails, juvenile detention centers and various other transitional and alternative settings, Voice UnBroken nurtures the inherent need in all people to tell their stories. It is our belief that through the telling of stories and sharing of dreams individual and community growth becomes possible.
