Finding Voice is an innovative literacy and visual arts program funded largely by the Every Voice in Action Foundation and Tucson Pima Arts Council. This project-based curriculum is dedicated to helping refugee and immigrant youth in LEARN Center ESL classes at Catalina High School in Tucson, Arizona develop their literacy and second language skills by researching, photographing, writing, and speaking out about critical social issues in their lives and communities.

Youth from Afghanistan, Ghana, Honduras, Iraq, Ivory Coast, Liberia, Mexico, Republic of the Marshall Islands, Russia, Sierra Leone, Somalia, and Sudan work through the creative process of brainstorming, drafting, revising, drafting further, editing, and finally publishing to produce powerful and thought-provoking pieces which they then share with the community through exhibits, community forums, in an annual publication, and online.
