Giving Voice Foundation
As a local grassroots organization, we believe inspiring cross-generational conversations can inspire solutions so we create these events to bring together people from around the city and from every age group. We also believe older adults need health and community advocates. Our mission takes three main focuses: advocacy, education, engagement, and storytelling. We believe that together these four pillars give us an uncommon, but effective recipe for inspiring change. Each rests on the power of voice and conversation as tools for connection and solutions.
