About Us

Our Mission & Story

KidsVoices was founded by high schoolers who believe every child deserves the chance to be heard.

Our Mission

To give every child — regardless of background or resources — the tools, practice, and confidence to find their voice and lead with it, through free public speaking education taught by trained student educators.

Our Story

KidsVoices is a student-led nonprofit dedicated to helping children develop confidence, communication, leadership, and critical-thinking skills through public speaking.

We provide free, high-quality public speaking education for students in grades 2–8, with a focus on serving underserved youth while welcoming any child eager to strengthen their voice.

Through engaging, hands-on instruction, students learn essential skills such as eye contact, body language, posture, vocal delivery, storytelling, and persuasive speaking.

Founded by students from The Awty International School, KidsVoices empowers young people to become confident communicators and future leaders.
