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.

Pieces of Life by Sharon Horton

Strength
and
Hope 
Grow
each 
time
I
stare
Fear
down,
the 
strength
to
stand
up
and
be 
present,
the
hope
that
sparks
inside
saying
"Don't
Quit
Yet!",
Even
lost
in 
struggles
there
are
reminders-
small
tiny
pieces
that
say...
There
is 
still
Life
to 
Live...
