Culture + Connection

= Community

Lift Every Voice Today utilizes creative approaches to activate youth and communities around the world. Our empowerment opportunities, education programs, community events, etc. are designed to support our global community and generations to come.

During the COVID-19 global pandemic we noticed community division on a new scale; many people seemed to forget how to connect with each other in a healthy way.

To address this we launched an active initiative to unify existing communities and create more by spreading access to dance and music education around the world. Our volunteers have helped build social dance communities in Mexico, Colombia, Israel, Bali, Australia, and the USA. Our focus includes communities that don’t have affordable access to high-level instruction and/or function as a melting pot and destination for those seeking connection and belonging.

The results have been astounding!

We’ve gotten feedback that these programs have empowered locals to spend more time together, build small businesses, and we often hear of the impact these experiences have had on participants mental health.
