Voices of Our City Choir changes the experience and perception of homelessness, helping San Diego's unsheltered neighbors reconnect with hope and housing through the healing power of music, individualized care, and advocacy.
This is how WE use music to change lives
With hope all things are possible. We offer our choir members the option to work with our case managers and peer advocates (people with lived experience) to help our unsheltered singers connect with the resources they need. We have helped over 50 people move off the streets and into housing and safe shelter. Help us continue this work by becoming a supporting member today.
We offer a weekly public choir practice every Friday to those experiencing homelessness. It's an invitation to come in, sing, dance and have lunch. We have a full band comprised of some of San Diego's best musicians. We offer songwriting and guitar workshops as well.
Our choir practice is an opportunity for people living without shelter to feel human connection and love through the healing power of music. It's been proven that how you move your body and the words that come out of your mouth can shift your state of mind. Music can heal and we see it every week.
We invite those that sing with us to become official choir members.
Choir members are given opportunities to sing and perform at professional events all over Southern California.The sense of purpose and joy that music and connection brings to our choir members helps them to make changes in their lives that they themselves didn't feel possible on their own.
We are so grateful for our journey on
America's Got Talent.
Thank you for your support
