More about Voices of Tomorrow’s (“VOT”).

VOT’s mission is to preserve immigrant & refugee children’s identity through culturally responsive child-focused programs. Our agency works closely with community partners to eliminate racial inequities in the Early Learning System which deeply affect Immigrant and Refugee children’s growth, development, and academic performances. Early childhood is the most critical phase of human development. The focus of VOT is to create early learning programs that preserves the child’s culture and language, while advancing African indigenous parenting practices and community-driven narratives. Substantial research shows that early adversity, including loss of a language, is associated with diminished health across the life course and across generations.

Our work is guided by the following foundational principles:

RACIAL EQUITY. Community representation is paramount in all of Voices of Tomorrow’s programs, policies, and activities. Program components are grounded in community needs and programs are designed with the input of the communities we serve.

CULTURAL RESPONSIVENESS. We strive to create opportunities to preserve culture through the celebration of diversity. We welcome all who apply their resources, cultural knowledge, and experience to address solutions for removing barriers facing our community.

HEALTH AND SAFETY. Embedded in our work is an understanding that good prenatal and early childhood mental health is foundational to reducing long term stressors and negative impacts into adulthood.

STRENGTHS-BASED. Our programs are designed to empower families and communities to use the existing knowledge of their families and communities enabling resiliency in a manner in which they can share their knowledge through the education of core life skills.

CHILD FOCUS. We encourage parents and caregivers to foster positive relationships with children and caregivers, as strong family bonds give children their best start in early childhood development
