MISSION STATEMENT

SILENT VOICES SPEAK started out as Silent Voices: A Writer’s Workshop, as the first group at the drop-in center at the Broadway location of Community Counseling Centers of Chicago, whose purpose is to empower it’s attendees to form and attend their own groups.

We have branched out as an independent entity. We are silent no more. We say yes to the creative possibilities of life & art...

The mission of SILENT VOICES SPEAK is to give a voice to people who are disenfranchised. Many of the participants in SILENT VOICES SPEAK are also visual and/or performing artists.

Membership is open to all.

SUMMER'S ADIEU by Jackie Tajiri

Cicadas serenade,
Mockingbirds masquerade,
Blustery winds hum,
Raindrops drum
Upon boulders and trees.

 Katy did it,
So the tale goes,
A male katydid
Croons from a rose;
Soon all will be silent,
We see summer
In our rear view mirror,
Colder blows the wind,
As fall draws near.
-Jackie
