OUR MISSION

Voices Across Borders is a project committed to empowering youth in El Manzano Uno, Nicaragua and in Providence, Rhode Island to explore their own identities and reflect on the legacy of their heritage as they pursue their future endeavours. Voices Across Borders fosters opportunities to engage in meaningful dialogue about education equality and social justice among a variety of communities. The project harnesses the power of storytelling and evokes personal stories to inspire and visualize social change. Built upon a service-learning framework, learners have the opportunity to connect at the local and global levels, experience reciprocal learning and growth, and develop intercultural partnerships. Through reflective practice, this project aspires to continue to provide a space for these stories to unfold and to support youth communities ​across borders
​to embrace their voices with pride and confidence. ​
