Street Voices

Street Voices is a media and technology nonprofit with a mission to empower marginalized voices. Their core activities consist of a directory of free services, a media platform, and programs that educate and engage the community. The organization was initially established as a magazine in 2014 to empower street-involved and at-risk youth. Over the past six years, the magazine has broadened into a digital media platform that publishes journalistic articles, podcasts, and visuals.

In November 2021, Street Voices expanded from a media platform to include a directory that offers a variety of programs and services throughout the GTA. The website also provides aggregated news of trending stories. Ultimately, their aim is to empower marginalized voices, no matter who they are. As we continue to increase our reach as a platform, we hope to expand the directory Canada-wide while telling the stories of our communities.
