What is Global Voice?

Global Voice promotes youth leadership and development through cultural exchange and service-learning—a concept where learning takes place through volunteer service projects that benefit communities at home and abroad. The founders (the Griffin family) created the program in 2003 where they performed a cultural exchange with a group of Northern Ireland youth and youth from Lyon and Storey counties. Community projects were targeted around hunger and homelessness as well as religious divisions and beautification projects at two youth centers.

Global Voice has continued this model with yearly
trips to locations in Costa Rica and Mexico including Ajijic, Teacapan and
Loreto. We have worked with schools, orphanages and other organizations in
practicing the cultural exchange through service model.  Trips usually last 2 weeks in duration and involve fundraising, planning, post trip reflections and continued service projects at home.  

Global Voice programs are sponsored through Community Chest, Inc. This organization strives to promote community building, youth leadership and social justice programs in Northern Nevada. CCI’s methodology regarding its youth programs places service-learning at its core; using this methodology, youth learn about themselves, their communities and the world in which they live by working together.
