Voices ensures that New Americans in the Teton region are connected and engaged.
Our story begins…
In the first days of the COVID-19 pandemic, 7 New American locals stepped up to ensure their communities had access to public health information and financial resources.
Our Values
Voices’ values are drawn from words around the world that are untranslatable.
-
We keep our promise to always provide the space for New Americans to engage in our community. We strive to keep our word, to be honest with our capacity and to communicate impact.
-
We are one interconnected community. “You are my other me. If I do harm to you, I do harm to myself. If I love and respect you, I love and respect myself.” We believe that by connecting and engaging New Americans in our region, we can uplift the whole community.
-
We practice bringing about balance within ourselves by aiming to develop compassion and self care through a process of reconciliation. We aim to heal within our relationships through mutual responsibility, dialogue and forgiveness, and we center conflict resolution and mediation. We strive to be a facilitator of Ho’oponopono to heal divides in our community.
-
We embrace curiosity as a way of being. We center learning, growth, and openness as a way of addressing trauma within ourselves and in support of others. We are committed to the personal and professional development of ourselves and our communities.
