Lift All Voices

This event is designed to showcase the voices of WAV participants — including youth, adults, people in recovery, and those impacted by the justice system — and to welcome friends, neighbors, and new supporters who want to experience our mission in action.

Held both indoors and outdoors, Lift All Voices features live performances, a gallery of community-created art, interactive creative activities, and food and music for all ages. It’s a joyful, meaningful way to connect with WAV, celebrate the people behind our programs, and learn how creativity can be a powerful tool for healing and change.
