Uniting Voices (Formerly known as Chicago Children’s Choir)
Uniting Voices is a nonprofit organization that empowers and unites youth from diverse backgrounds to find their voice and celebrate their common humanity through the power of music.
Founded at the dawn of the Civil Rights Movement on the South side of Chicago, Uniting Voices has grown from one community-based choir into a vast network of school-based and after-school programs that serve thousands of youth from every zip code of Chicago and beyond.

Since its founding in 1956, the organization has built programs that reflect the racial and economic diversity of Chicago.
