Mission Statement
Healing homelessness through music one person at a time. Rooted in Skid Row through music, community, and openhearted inclusion of the most marginalized members of society, Urban Voices Project amplifies artistic expression to improve well being, strengthen social networks, and inspire individuals to be their own best advocates. Our vision is to place music & singing community spaces in every medical and social service site across Los Angeles, to create community and a more comprehensive, holistic system for engaging individuals coping with the conditions of homelessness.
Description
Urban Voices was born when Wesley Health Clinic reached out to the Colburn School of Music seeking to start a street choir for the residents of Skid Row. Leeav agreed to take on the project, being teamed up with Christopher to recruit. Kate joined the team soon after, and within a few months, the group had grown from about 5 to over 20 members.
