Imagine being part of a youth choir that tours the world, singing for peace. Imagine learning how to make fine music, in a program that also includes art and leadership training for a multicultural world. Imagine World Voices of Brockton – a program for female singers, grades 2 through 9.

We will change lives – of young people singing in a multicultural chorus. We will change lives through a weekly after-school program that includes music, art, and leadership training for a multicultural world. We will change some lives by those same young people traveling the country and the world with a message of peace and harmony. We will change even more lives as they perform for others. |
Exploring creative depths |
A lasting journey |

World Voices came out of the dreams of four people: a minister, a Christian educator, a music director, and a start-up business consultant. We wanted to create a place where the many nationalities of Brockton and the surrounding towns could sing together, do art together, and learn leadership skills together. We imagined a program that would be both high commitment and high reward – where students would emerge as not only skilled musicians and artists, but also as effective leaders for social change. We imagined a place where students would raise their voices in the chorus and in the world. |
WOVOS is beginning its fifth year and we are expanding! Using best practices from other youth choruses and organizations, we have created a a curriculum that focuses on music, leadership and art on a weekly basis. WOVOS Wednesdays will be our starting point for grades 2-9. Music sessions are taught by expert youth choir director, Murray Kidd. Leadership sessions are lead by inspirational leadership teacher, Sequoria Dickerson. Art projects have been created by Rev. Patricia Hayes, “Founding Mother” of World Voices. Every day is filled with challenge and fun. |
