Amplify Voices

Amplify Voices is an advocacy incubator. We discover, develop and amplify the voices of those historically silenced, misunderstood or oppressed to foster positive change within our communities and causes around the world.

Amplify's programs provide:
1) A safe space that allows participants to share their authentic voice and find additional layers of healing.
2) A community where individuals ongoingly feel seen, heard and empowered.
3) A powerful voice that allows participants to confidently forge a meaningful future.
4) A pathway to support the amplification of messages in a way that makes a positive impact in communities and causes around the world.

As Amplify expands its reach, empowered graduates from marginalized communities affect positive change through purposefully using their voice to impact causes. Impact could look like: raising awareness, raising funds for causes, perpetuating the healing of others, supporting or forming nonprofits, becoming a community organizer or working to change policy.

To date, Amplify has served the communities of: survivors or trafficking/sexual assault, the formerly incarcerated and women touched by breast cancer. In 2024, Amplify will launch the Voice of Mental Health.

Testimonials

This experience has made me realize that there is space for me in this world. And that my lived experience is relevant and important to others. I matter." - Dana

Even in the hardest times in our life, even in the most tragic things that happen to us, there is a message of hope and that there is a lightness inside of our darkness. So I'm so grateful for this program. - Hannah

I am forever changed from this program. For the first time in my life, I felt as if my voice mattered and I was worthy of the time and space I took to deliver my message. That knowing has stayed with me in the two years since I graduated and I have gone on to use my voice in various ways. - Amanda

I didn't know what I didn't know. I have been judging this population. I learned that everyone has a story and we all have more in common with each other than I previously thought. I am walking away from this event a transformed human being. I am humbled and moved by what I heard. - Audience member
