“Our concert with One Voice provided our students a real life
opportunity to take a stand for justice. We teach peace and ethics
every day. The collaboration gave our students a unique opportunity
to walk the talk. Most importantly, having raised a son who is gay,
I was fully aware of the collaboration's tremendous potential for
good in the lives of young people.”
—Dr. Karen J. Rusthoven, Principal, Community of Peace Academy
One Voice is excited to announce a new partnership with
Out For
Equity, an amazing organization providing safe school
environments for GLBT students and staff. This spring, One Voice and
Out for Equity will team up to provide concerts, in-school training
and discussion opportunities in four St. Paul Schools.
The
Knight Foundation is helping to fund this program through
their generous support!
Among youth, bullying and name-calling related to sexual orientation
is a serious issue. One Voice has tackled this problem for over 12
years by performing in-school concerts in our public schools. Music
builds bridges, enhances communication, and dispels myths and
stereotypes. Through our “OUT in Our Schools” program, we create
powerful artistic partnerships that connect students with creative,
caring adults—some of whom just happen to be gay, lesbian, bisexual
or transgender.

One Voice has performed.

Each year our singers take a day off of work to perform in metro area
schools. We’re finalizing plans as we speak—do you have a recommendation
for a school that needs us?
