Inspiring Humanity Through The Power of Creative Expression

Welcome to Voices United,
where ALL people can come together to take action
and make the world a better place!

Mission

Voices United is a non-profit organization designed to promote social justice through the arts while nourishing and connecting change makers locally, nationally and around the world.

History

Voices United, formerly Peace Child Miami, was created in 1989 by 17-year-old Katie Christie, in an effort to unite her community through the arts.

Voices United Utilizes the Visual & Performing Arts to:

Build a network of support for change makers.

Galvanize young people and change makers to create and promote solutions to community, national, and global challenges.

Offer opportunities for change makers to explore, develop and share their visions and concerns.

Propose solutions to some of the many problems that we face on a global level without endorsing political, ideological, or religious preferences.

TESTIMONIALS

Alex Lacamoire


Working with Katie and Voices United throughout my teen years laid the groundwork for what would eventually become my career in theater as a Music Director and Arranger. Katie invited me to participate when I was 14 to transcribe and arrange the songs for their show. And when I was 16, Katie asked me to be the Pianist/Conductor for their 1991 production. That was one of the first times that I was put in charge of an orchestra for a musical, where I served as the musical director and conductor of a band. I have very fond memories of playing great music with great people, all for a great cause. Getting to perform in that capacity gave me the experience that would allow me to pursue my career in New York, where I am now the Music Director/Conductor of IN THE HEIGHTS, as well as the Tony-Winning Orchestrator for the show. Many thanks to Katie for her belief in a young kid who loved to play piano!

What can I say about my experiences in Voices United? I am afraid all my adjectives describing the moments of triumph, the days of bravery, the bonding of diversity, still would not summon up the right spirit to give breath to what voices has meant to me; they won’t reconstruct the life long friends I’ve made, the courage I built within myself, the times that inspire me even today. Words cannot express them. Forgive my inarticulateness.

But what is louder than my words, stronger than my inability to rationalize emotion, is the truth:

Voice United, a program started almost 20 years ago, still today, is an integral part of our community, an organization devoted to educating young people about peace and inoculating them with a love of diversity and acceptance.
